Marco Monticone,Paola Baiardi,Carla Vanti,Silvano Ferrari,Paolo Pillastrini,Raffaele Mugnai,Calogero Foti +6 more
TL;DR: The Italian ODI and RMDQ proved to be sensitive in detecting clinical changes after conservative treatment for subacute and chronic LBP, thus allowing cross-cultural comparisons and stimulating cross-national studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alessandro Chiarotto,Carla Vanti,Christine Cedraschi,Silvano Ferrari,Fernanda de Lima e Sá Resende,Raymond W. J. G. Ostelo,Paolo Pillastrini +6 more

Journal ArticleDOI
A literature review of clinical tests for lumbar instability in low back pain: validity and applicability in clinical practice
TL;DR: The data from the studies provided information on the methods used and suggest that PLE is the most appropriate tests to detect lumbar instability in specific LBP, however, due to the lack of available papers on other lombar conditions, these findings should be confirmed with studies on non-specific LBP patients.
