Abstract

Introduction: Body structure and function impairments due to spondylolysis/spondylolisthesis may include low back pain and/or radiating pain, leading to activity limitations. Objective: To investigate the efficacy of movement-based rehabilitation programs to reduce pain and improve activity in people with spondylolysis/spondylolisthesis. Method: Systematic review of randomised clinical trials. Experimental intervention was movement-based rehabilitation program and outcome measures were pain and activity. Result: Five trials were included. Two trials examined the efficacy of the experimental intervention compared with placebo/no-intervention, and found inconclusive results. Three trials examined the efficacy of the experimental intervention compared with a surgical treatment, and reported superiority in favour of the surgical treatments. Conclusion: The results are inconclusive regarding the efficacy of movement-based rehabilitation, and suggested that it is less effective than surgical treatments.
