Abstract
When Does the Patient with Low Back Pain Need Rehabilitation? Abstract. If functional impairments or participation restrictions persist in patients with low back pain after completion of acute therapy, a rehabilitation is indicated. Rehabilitation refers to the coordinated use of medical, social, professional, technical, and educational measures in order to optimize a patient's functional health and to achieve an independent participation in everyday life. Rehabilitation is also indicated when return to work is at risk, or when the affected person is unable to return to their usual work. The functional limitations of the patient require the use of an interdisciplinary team and a multimodal therapeutic approach. In addition to a function-oriented therapy, Pilates and McKenzie exercises also seem to be effective to improve functional capacities in the context of rehabilitation. On the other hand, passive modalities play only a minor role.
