Exploring the association between adherence to home-based exercise recommendations and recovery of nonspecific low back pain: a prospective cohort study.

Background: Adherence to home-based exercise (HBE) recommendations is critical in physiotherapy for patients with low back pain (LBP). However, limited research has explored its connection with clinical outcomes. This study examined how adherence to HBE relates to changes in physical function, pain intensity, and recovery from LBP in patients undergoing physiotherapy treatment.

Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness of a Stratified Blended Physiotherapy Intervention Compared With Face-to-Face Physiotherapy in Patients With Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Nonspecific low back pain (LBP) is a leading contributor to disability worldwide, and its socioeconomic burden is substantial. Self-management support is an important recommendation in clinical guidelines for the physiotherapy treatment of patients with LBP and may support cost-effective management. However, providing adequate individually tailored self-management support is difficult.

Robot-assisted fluorescent sentinel lymph node identification in early-stage colon cancer.

Background: Patients with cT1-2 colon cancer (CC) have a 10-20% risk of lymph node metastases. Sentinel lymph node identification (SLNi) could improve staging and reduce morbidity in future organ-preserving CC surgery. This pilot study aimed to assess safety and feasibility of robot-assisted fluorescence-guided SLNi using submucosally injected indocyanine green (ICG) in patients with cT1-2N0M0 CC.

Trajectories of Adherence to Home-Based Exercise Recommendations Among People With Low Back Pain: A Longitudinal Analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the presence of distinct trajectories of adherence to home-based exercise recommendations among people with low back pain (LBP). This study also aimed to identify differences in baseline characteristics among groups.

Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of a prospective, multicenter cluster randomized controlled trial investigating the cost-effectiveness of a stratified blended physical therapist intervention compared to usual care physical therapy in patients with LBP.

Characteristics and health outcomes associated with activation for self-management in patients with non-specific low back pain: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Research has shown that the course of non-specific low back pain (LBP) is influenced by, among other factors, patients' self-management abilities. Therefore, clinical guidelines recommend stimulation of self-management. Enhancing patients' self-management potentially can improve patients' health outcomes and reduce future healthcare costs for non-specific LBP.
