| Core Tip |
This small-scale observational study explored commonalities and differences in low back pain (LBP) perspectives and diagnostic practice between Greek and British physiotherapists (PTs). There was agreement on clinical examination features for targeting treatment; indicating that LBP is a clinical entity whose clinical “expressions” amongst PTs and patients are common across different cultural groups. The differences de-tected particularly referred to diagnostic issues (i.e., overuse of medical investigations/radiography, etc.), reflecting differences in medical and physiotherapy services delivery. Such comparisons contribute to the understanding of the course and/or management of LBP across the two countries. |
