ReviewRisk of Recurrence of Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review.
Study Design Systematic review. Background While most people with acute low back pain (LBP) recover quickly, recurrences are believed to be common. To our knowledge, no published high-quality systematic review has assessed the risk of recurrent LBP or the factors that would predict LBP recurrence. ⋯ Prospectively registered in PROSPERO on February 9, 2016 (CRD42016030220).

ReviewDoes Physical Activity Increase After Total Hip or Knee Arthroplasty for Osteoarthritis? A Systematic Review.
Study Design Systematic review. Background Despite improvements in self-reported symptoms and perceived functional ability after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), it is unclear whether changes in objectively measured physical activity (PA) occur after surgery. Objective To determine if objectively measured PA increases after THA and TKA in adults with osteoarthritis. ⋯ Level of Evidence Therapy, level 2a. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2016;46(6):431-442. Epub 26 Apr 2016. doi:10.2519/jospt.2016.6449.
