Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
intervention group
The study intervention is a brief physiotherapeutic assessment, a brief information on the expected course of the condition, and a brief instruction on self-management, including three exercises for daily self-guided therapy.
physiotherapeutic intervention
The intervention consists of a brief physiotherapeutic assessment by a short physical performance battery, a brief information on the expected course of the condition and instructions on self-management regarding back friendly behaviour (eg. respecting the pain, staying active and back friendly movement strategies). Additionally, three exercises for daily self-guided therapy are included to the intervention: Turning in bed and coming to a sitting position, sit to stand and squats standing in front of a wall.
control group
The control group will receive written information on the expected course of the condition, written instructions on self-management and written instructions on exercises for daily self-guided therapy.
No interventions assigned to this group
