Deconstructing Chronic Low Back Pain in the Older AdultStep by Step Evidence and Expert-Based Recommendations for Evaluation and Treatment: Part I: Hip Osteoarthritis

摘要

ObjectiveTo present the first in a series of articles designed to deconstruct chronic low back pain (CLBP) in older adults. The series presents CLBP as a syndrome, a final common pathway for the expression of multiple contributors rather than a disease localized exclusively to the lumbosacral spine. Each article addresses one of twelve important contributors to pain and disability in older adults with CLBP. This article focuses on hip osteoarthritis (OA).
