Summary
Keele STarT Back SCreening Tool (KSB) is a practical and validated bio-psychosocial questionnaire that stratifies lower back pain patients into 3 risk groups (low, medium, high), with suggested treatment guidelines for each grouping. The 9-question KSB has been used in chiropractic practice to help guide medical decision making, but its use in chiropractic teaching environments has been limited.
Detailed description
All new LBP patients between the ages of 18-65 years presenting to a chiropractic teaching clinic in Dallas, TX between March 05, 2018 and April 06, 2018 were asked to complete the KSB questionnaire. No introduction of the KSB was given to students or faculty. For all patients that completed the KSB, a chart review of the first 4 weeks of care was completed to retrieve patient follow-up information and treatment provided, including: self-reported LBP on a 10-point numerical rating scale (NRS), region of spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), and active rehabilitation provided.
