Background: Non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) represents a growing global burden. Individuals with
LBP inherently adapt in a variety of ways, across psychological, behavioural and physical domains. However, adaptive
changes (e.g., altered lifting behaviour) may persist, becoming maladaptive, resulting in negative functional
consequences (i.e., persistence of pain, increased disability). Clinical practice guidelines lack specificity to direct the
type of interventions, dosage and treatment duration. A better understanding of how the maladaptive changes seen
in people with NSCLBP relate to meaningful outcomes (i.e., disability, function, quality of life) and defined subgroups
of people with NSCLBP may inform effective interventions. The aim of this review is to investigate the interrelationship
of psychological, behavioural and neuromuscu.. View More»
