Original: Drs. @ThomasMatheve, @LiesbetDebaets at al. found that ≥4 days/week may capture greater pain and disability, but would exclude many patients with clinically relevant symptoms
—more nuanced chronic low back pain definitions are needed

De besparing op fundamenteel onderzoek, de enige overheidssector die internationaal uitblinkt, de motor van economische groei, de enige structurele oplossing voor onze begroting. Dié besparing is ongeveer (iets meer) wat men uitdeelt aan frigobons. De helft van nutteloze brooddozen. Daar kan men veel lelijke woorden voor bedenken.

Taking into account contextual factors is essential to understand fear of movement. Thanks to collaborators @LiesbetDebaets @meuldersann @LotteJanssens2 Lieven Danneels & Katleen Bogaerts
Replying to @ThomasMatheve
@ThomasMatheve et al. assert that using more context-specific self-report measures in chronic low back pain populations can reveal clinically-relevant variability in fear of movement that would otherwise remain undetected. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/42342xd

What if low back pain is not just about strength. but about timing?
This study explores anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) across multiple trunk muscles, revealing how the body prepares for movement before it even happens. A valuable contribution to how we understand motor control, variability, and movement preparation in low back pain
Rather than a simple delay in a single muscle, the findings suggest a more complex picture. Multi-muscle coordination is disrupted, potentially reflecting adaptive or protective strategies rather than isolated dysfunction.
The goal may not be to “activate one muscle earlier”, but to restore coordinated, task-specific motor control across the system.

Today we had a wonderfull morning at the REVA Research Day where our Spine, Head and Pain Research Unit Ghent presented an overview of the team members, main research lines and ongoing projects to our department 💫
#sharingknowlegde #sharingapassionforresearch @Reva_UGent – at Antwerp, Belgium
Our study on context-specific fear of movement assessment in CLBP is now published in @PAINthejournal

Zullen miljonairvoetballers volgende week eindelijk normale RSZ betalen? Het levert 119 miljoen op, veel meer dan wat voor VL univs éérder op tafel en in de krant komt: RSZ besparing op onderzoek, bron v innovatie en motor vd kenniseconomie @vincent_v_p

BPS Young Researchers Day - "The Next Generation in Pain Research' - 22nd of March 2025 in Antwerp. Registration is free but mandatory: belgianpainsociety.org/bps-y… – at Antwerp, Belgium
Wschl een goed initiatief, maar waarom enkel artsen? Wat met interdisciplinaire benadering? Psychologen, kinesitherapeuten en andere hulpverleners kunnen best mee betrokken worden
Als u personen in #arbeidsongeschiktheid begeleidt als #arts kan u vanaf nu beroep doen op #TRIO, het beveiligde platform waarop u vlot informatie kan uitwisselen met uw collega’s: huisarts, arbeidsarts en adviserend arts van het #ziekenfonds @Co_Prev 👇

One implication of task-specific fear is that to truly test available range of motion, a clinician needs to observe movement across a range of tasks.
