Relationship between categorization with the STarT Back Screening Tool and prognosis for people receiving physical therapy for low back pain.
The STarT Back Screening Tool (SBT) was recently developed for primary care providers to use as a screening tool for subgrouping people with low back pain (LBP) on the basis of modifiable prognostic factors. The use of the SBT in physical therapy has not been described. ⋯ The SBT may provide important prognostic information for physical therapists.
