August 2016

S.Z. George, PT, PhD, Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, Department of Physical Therapy, University of Florida, and Brooks-PHHP Research Collaboration, University of Florida.

Background: The STarT Back Screening Tool is a validated multidimensional screening measure and risk stratification tool for people with low back pain.

Objective: The study objective was to compare relationships between a modified STarT Back Screening Tool (mSBT) and clinical and psychological measures in people with low back, neck, shoulder, and knee pain. The hypothesis was that the relationships between mSBT scores and clinical and psychological measure scores would be similar across the included musculoskeletal pain conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • A cross-sectional cohort study aimed to compare clinical variables between athletes who return to preinjury sports levels and those who do not after ACL reconstruction, one year post-surgery.
  • The study analyzed data from 94 patients to identify demographic, knee impairment, and psychosocial factors impacting return-to-sport status, using statistical methods to highlight the strongest predictors.
  • Results showed that 55% of patients returned to sports; those who did had lower knee pain, fewer instability episodes, and better quadriceps strength compared to those who did not return.
