Abstract:Although biomechanics plays a role in the development and perhaps the persistent or recurrent nature of low back pain (LBP), whether biomechanics alone can provide the basis for intervention is debated. Biomechanics, which refers to the mechanics of the body, including its neuromuscular control, has been studied extensively in LBP. But, can gains be made in understanding LBP by research focused on this component of biology in the multifactorial biopsychosocial problem of LBP? This commentary considers whether biomechanics research has the potential to advance treatment of LBP, and how likely it is that this research will lead to better treatment strategies. A point-counterpoint format is taken to present both sides of the argument. First, the challenges faced by an approach that considers biomechanics in isolation are presented. Next, we describe 3 models that place substantial emphasis on biomechanical factors. Finally, reactions to each point are presented as a foundation for further research and clinical practice to progress understanding of the place for biomechanics in guiding treatment of LBP.

Abstract:Although biomechanics play a role in the development of low back pain (LBP), and perhaps in the persistent and/or recurrent nature of LBP, there is debate regarding whether biomechanics alone can provide the basis for intervention. Biomechanics, which refers to the mechanics of the body including its neuromuscular control, has been extensively studied in LBP. But, can gains be made in understanding LBP by research focused on this component of the biology in the multifactorial bio-psycho-social problem of LBP? This commentary considers whether biomechanics research has the potential to advance treatment of LBP, and how likely it is that this research will lead to better treatment strategies for LBP. A viewpoint-counterpoint format is taken to present both sides of the argument. This is considered first from the perspective of the challenges faced by an approach that considers biomechanics in isolation. Second, three models are described that place substantial emphasis on biomechanical factors. Third, reactions to each viewpoint are presented as a foundation for further research and clinical practice to progress understanding of the place for biomechanics in guiding treatment for LBP.
