We describe the burden of chronic low back pain as a component of multimorbidity.
- •
We outline the key role of physical activity and exercise for addressing this burden.
- •
We discuss key considerations for clinicians for managing these individuals.
- •
We illustrate our proposed approach with a case study.
- •
Patient and Public Involvement in Research (PPI) is an evolving concept around the world and is a key driver of equity and social justice
- •
PPI in Research ensures that research reflects the needs and values of those it serves.
- •
Proper training on how to use PPI in research should be made mandatory for researchers, patients, and the public.
- •
Low- and middle-income countries, like Brazil, must encourage the implementation of PPI in health-related research studies.
- •
The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire - Brazilian version (FreBAQ-Br) questionnaire demonstrated acceptable reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity for hypothesis testing.
- •
The FreBAQ-Br score differentiated between individuals with chronic low back pain and those without it.
- •
Structural validity confirmed the unidimensional structure of the 9-item FreBAQ-Br.
- •
The findings endorse the application of FreBAQ-Br as a suitable instrument for assessing back awareness among Brazilian Portuguese speakers.
- •
The smallest detectable change (SDC) for the FreBAQ-Br score is 3.33, suggesting that variations smaller than this cutoff is probably due to measurement error.
- •
The HipScreen App provides reliable and valid measurements of migration percentage.
- •
Inter-rater reliability is excellent for HipScreen across both novice and experienced examiners.
- •
The HipScreen App has high clinical utility and is easy to use.
