Sponsor's own description
Subjects are recruited from the attendees of the multidisciplinary low back pain rehabilitation group before it takes place in University Hospital of Oulu at Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) unit. Subjects were invited to participate by letter 2 weeks before the beginning of the rehabilitation. Subjects to rehabilitation are picked by doctor at PRM unit. The volunteered subjects are invited to the briefing of the study and those who are willing to participate, they filled in several questionnaires about pain, participation, disability and mood. After that the subjects are measured at baseline measurement. Subjects are randomized into the five groups. After the 3 months treatment and training the follow-up measurements are performed. Same questionnaires are filled in at that point as well. At 6 and 12 months the follow-up questionnaires (same as before) are sent to subjects.
