Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 07/01/09
Gruther W et al. - In chronic low back pain dynamometric trunk muscle measures are limited to muscle function assessment purposes. Monitoring treatment outcome in these patients with these measures appears to be problematic because of learning effects. Based on these findings, the authors recommend the Biering-Sørensen test for management of chronic low back pain rehabilitation.
