Postsurgical rehabilitation for adults with low back pain with or without radiculopathy who were treated surgically: protocol for a mixed studies systematic review Findings from our review will guide future research by identifying both the methodological limitations of previous studies, and the knowledge gaps in the current scientific literature. Future studies can be designed to minimise these methodological limitations and address key knowledge gaps to further advance our understanding of the role of postsurgical rehabilitation for patients with LBP. This novel interpretation of quantitative and qualitative evidence according to the ICF framework serves as a model for how outcomes related to pain, functioning, disability and health can be prioritised in future research.
