Background

Evidence-based practice advocates utilising best current research evidence, while reflecting patient preference and clinical expertise in decision making. Successfully incorporating this evidence into practice is a complex process. Based on recommendations of existing guidelines and systematic evidence reviews conducted using the GRADE approach, treatment pathways for common spinal pain disorders were developed.

Aims

The aim of this study was to identify important potential facilitators to the integration of these pathways into routine clinical practice.

Aims/background

Current treatment recommendations advocate various exercise modalities for people with chronic Low Back Pain (cLBP)1. Walking appears to represent an inexpensive and readily accessible activity for a range of individuals, including those who were previously sedentary. However, the effectiveness of such interventions are uncertain in cLBP.

Methods

A systematic review was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of walking interventions across a range of chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions, including LBP. Six electronic databases were searched for relevant studies. Data for pain and self reported function were extracted and where appropriate, results were pooled and analysed using RevMan (v.5).
