Inter- and intrarater reliability of a back range of motion instrument.
Thirty-five non-specific LBpatientsts with limitation in lower back range of motion and without neurological deficits were recruited (based on the LBP guidelines by RCGP 1999).
General medical variables included age, comorbidity, number of medications, depressive symptoms, back range of motion, body mass index, and severity of radiographic pathology.
Sectors the firm will back range from life sciences technologies, to new manufacturing technologies, to enterprise software and environmental and energy-related technologies.
We measured low back pain using the Oswestry disability questionnaire as the primary outcome measure, and quality of life using the SF-36 in addition to low back range of motion, weight loss, and Body Mass Index as secondary outcomes.
Hand-back range and hand-neck range both measured in cm.
For these 15 countries, we sent 142 emails out (range 5-17), and received 65 back (range 1-11) (Table 1).
The physical examination consisted of measuring low back range of motion, straight leg raise, and bilateral hip range of motion measurements.
*****Range of motion includes abduction rotation (active external, active internal, passive external, passive internal) measured by goniometry and hand-back range and hand-neck range both measured in cm.
However, samples taken on the palm of the hand were consistently higher than the back of the hand for all congeners; the median ratio of palm:back ranged from 2.5 – 3.5, with a maximum of 8.4 (Table 2).
