Back-UP in IASP 2020-2021

University of Keele has presented a poster in the virtual exposition of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), with a poster on the “Visualisation of multivariable individualised prediction models for pain and function in patients with neck and/or low back pain”. This poser shows the basis of the visualisations that have been designed for Back-UP’s First Contact Web App.

Association between objectively measured physical behaviour and neck‐ and low back pain: a systematic review

3MarchCoordinatorResults

A systematic review made by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Karolinska Institue, Roessingh Research and Development, the University of Twente, the University of Southern Denmark and the Nordic Institute of Chiropractic and Clinical Biomechanics, has been published in the European Journal of Pain.

This review reveals that, although having an active lifestyle is usually recommended to reduce and prevent neck or low back pain (NLBP), it is not the amount of physical activity itself the key factor for improvement, since at least among blue-collar workers, physical activity may actually increase the risk. Thus, it is important to take into account the compositional nature of physical behaviour in NLBP patients, and the impact in other health factors.

Objectively measured physical behaviour and neck pain and/or low back pain: a systematic review protocol

9AprilCoordinatorResults

This poster, prepared by various partners of the Back-UP project, describes the methodology of the systematic review made to investigate the associations between neck or low back pain, and it was presented by Cecilie K. Øveras (NTNU) in the EPIC 2019 conference (Berlin, 20-23 March 2019).

Relationship between neck motion and self-reported pain in patients with whiplash associated disorders during the acute phase

13SeptemberCoordinatorResults

A study made in the Institute of Biomechanics of Valencia, and published in Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, shows that the perceived pain of whiplash associated disorders is related to neck motion measures, with range of motion and smoothness of neck flexion are consistently related to pain perception. The statistical models developed in that study are able to estimate pain score changes with clinically insignificant errors.
