Purpose: Work disability affects a growing number of workers aged 55 and over (W55 +).

Background: Little is known about why patients with low back pain (LBP) respond differently to treatment, and more specifically, to a lumbar stabilization exercise program. As a first step toward answering this question, the present study evaluates how subgroups of patients who demonstrate large and small clinical improvements differ in terms of physical and psychological changes during treatment.
Methods: Participants (n = 110) performed the exercise program (clinical sessions and home exercises) over eight weeks, with 100 retained at six-month follow-up.
Purpose: This project aimed to examine the existing evidence on work disability or musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among teleworkers.
Method: A scoping review was conducted in eight bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, ABI/Inform Global, EBM Reviews, Web of Science, Dissertations & Theses Global) from inception to June 2022.
Results: Out of 9192 records identified, a total of 79 selected articles representing 77 studies were retained.
