Summary
This study discusses the importance of subgrouping patients with low back pain for targeted treatment. Effective patient stratification improves clinical outcomes and guides evidence-based physical therapy interventions.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Physical Therapy
- Clinical Practice
Background:
- Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition with heterogeneous presentations.
- Current treatment approaches often lack specificity, leading to variable patient responses.
- The need for precise patient classification in LBP management is increasingly recognized.
