Intrarater and interrater agreement of a 6-item movement control test battery and the resulting diagnosis in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain.

Objective: To investigate the intrarater and interrater agreement of a 6-item test battery in nonspecific chronic low back pain (LBP) and investigate the agreement between raters to assign the resulting movement control (MC) diagnoses.

Methods: Thirty patients with chronic LBP (18-30 years) were included in this study. Six raters were trained and rated the videos of the patients during the execution of the tests.

Star-Shape Kinesio Taping Is Not Better Than a Minimal Intervention or Sham Kinesio Taping for Pain Intensity and Postural Control in Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of star-shape Kinesio taping (KT) compared with both sham KT and minimal intervention (MI) on pain intensity and postural control.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Outpatient physical therapy.
