Project Description
Principle Investigator: Robert Vining, D.C., D.H.Sc.
The purpose of this study was to use scientific evidence to develop a practical diagnostic checklist and corresponding clinical exam for patients presenting with low back pain (LBP) and summarize current evidence for diagnosis of common conditions causing low back pain and to propose standardized terminology use.
