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).
