Q

what does the statement of intent say in the CPG

A

the CPG serve as a guideline and recommendation for how to treat these pts, but they are not an end all treatment. they do not guarantee good outcome
“not a standard of care”

Q

what are the 7 purposes of CPG

A
  • describe EBP
  • classify/define msk conditions
  • identify interventions to address ICF impairments
  • idenitify outcome measures
  • provide description of practice to policy makers
  • provide info to payers
  • reference for best current practice

  • generalized pain
17
Q

what category of LBP - symptoms:
- may report back stiffness
- onset of symptoms linked to unguarded/awkward mvmt or position
- unilateral, LB/butt/thigh pain

A

acute/subacute LBP with mobility deficits

18
Q

what category of LBP - Impairments of body function
- ROM limitations
