Au Canada, avec le vieillissement de la main-d’oeuvre et le faible taux de natalité, l’État doit faire appel à l’immigration pour éviter une croissance négative de la population et pour combler les besoins de main-d’oeuvre de l’industrie. Il est rapporté que les immigrants et les personnes issues des minorités ethnoculturelles présentent une vulnérabilité accrue face aux risques liés à la SST et à l’incapacité prolongée. Cependant, très peu de choses...
An Introduction The research literature that rehabilitation clinicians need to be familiar with has become too large for anyone to read, and numerous published studies are too complex for many practitioners to understand and fruitfully use. One method to keep up with new findings is through systematic reviews. Systematic reviews can be effective tools that help guide rehabilitation practice by identifying the best research that provides the evidence for enhanced clinical decision-making. This article describes how systematic reviews are created, indicates where rehabilitation clinicians may find...

Verkerk, Karin (2012). Prognostic Factors for Recovery in Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review . Physical Therapy (sous presse, version électronique) Background Few data are available on predictors for a favorable outcome in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP). Purpose To assess prognostic factors for pain intensity, disability, return to work, quality of life, or global perceived effect in patients with CNLBP at short-term (≤ 6 months) and long-term (> 6 months) follow-up. Data Sources Relevant studies evaluating the prognosis of CNLBP were searched...
Steenstra, Ivan et coll. (2012). Factors affecting RTW following acute low-back pain. Institute for Work & Health (IWH) Sommaire d'une recension des écrits sur les déterminants du retour au travail chez les personnes souffrant de lombalgies aigues. Although most workers with acute low-back pain (i.e. pain for up to six weeks) return to work following a relatively straightforward path, anywhere from one-fifth to one-third go on to suffer chronic low-back pain (i.e. pain for longer than three months). This results in potentially lengthy absences from work. This systematic review...
Hoefsmit, Nicole, Houkes, Inge et Nijhuis, Frans J. N. (2012). Intervention Characteristics that Facilitate Return to Work After Sickness Absence: A Systematic Literature Review. Journal of Occupational Rehabilitatin . Introduction In many Western countries, a vast amount of interventions exist that aim to facilitate return to work (RTW) after sickness absence. These interventions are usually focused on specific target populations such as employees with low back pain, stress-related complaints or adjustment disorders. The aim of the present study is to detect and identify characteristics of RTW...
Iversen, Maura Daly (2012). Rehabilitation Interventions for Pain and Disability in Osteoarthritis: A review of interventions including exercise, manual techniques, and assistive devices. Orthopaedic Nursing 31(8): 103-108. OVERVIEW: Osteoarthritis (OA) results in progressive destruction of articular cartilage and bone at the joint margins, leading to impairments extending far beyond the synovial joint. Rehabilitation interventions that target specific impairments and activity restrictions can help restore independence and promote healthy living. Such interventions include exercise, physical modalities...
Baldwin, Cathryn et Natasha K. Brusco (2011). The Effect of Vocational Rehabilitation on Return-to-Work Rates Post Stroke: A Systematic Review. Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation , 18(5): 562-572. Purpose: Returning to work has been identified as an important rehabilitation goal following stroke. Twenty percent of stroke survivors are of working age. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the effect of vocational rehabilitation programs on return-to-work rates post stroke. Method: Searches were performed in electronic databases and Web-based sites. Studies were eligible for inclusion...
Chapman, J. R. et coll. (2011). Evaluating Common Outcomes for Measuring Treatment Success for Chronic Low Back Pain. Spine , 36 (21 Suppl): S54-S68. STUDY DESIGN.: Systematic review. OBJECTIVE.: To identify, describe, and evaluate common outcome measures in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: The treatment of CLBP has been associated with multiple clinical challenges. Further complicating this is the myriad of outcome scores used to assess treatment of CLBP. These scores have been used to examine different domains of patient satisfaction and quality of life...
Hall, Trevor et coll. (2011). Examining functional content in widely used Health-Related Quality of Life scales. Rehabilitation Psychology , 56 (2): 94-99. Purpose: Assess extent to which generic Quality of Life (QOL) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) scales include function in assessment of health, and identify health assessment items that are free of functional content. Methods: An expert panel on measurement of health and disability reached consensus on definitions of health, disability, and function. They assessed all items of all generic (non-condition-specific) scales in the 2006...

Leresche, L. (2011). Defining Gender Disparities in Pain Management. Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research , 469(7): 1871-1877. (Accès limité) Background: Prevalence rates of most musculoskeletal pain conditions are higher among women than men. Reasons for these prevalence disparities likely include sex differences in basic pain mechanisms and gender differences in psychosocial factors. Questions/purposes: The purposes of this review were to (1) identify reasons for differences in pain prevalence between men and women, (2) assess whether musculoskeletal pain conditions are differently...
Purpose . To develop an instrument that measures empowerment among people with a long-term work disability. Methods . A six-dimension empowerment model was chosen as a theoretical framework. These dimensions are as follows: competence, self-determination, meaning, impact, positive identity and group orientation. A literature search was conducted to find instruments that currently are being used to measure one or more of these constructs. Validated and applicable instruments from this search were used in a preliminary questionnaire. A pilot test was conducted consulting the target population...
Four hundred million adults are obese. Such a pandemic involves people of working age. Excess weight imposes abnormal mechanics on body movements, which could account for the high incidence of musculoskeletal disorders in these subjects. This article reviews the physiological and biomechanical causes of the reduced work capacity in obese workers and speculates on the relationships between occupational exposure and obesity. The reduction in work capacity appears to be due to the following factors: reduced spine flexibility, decay in endurance, limited range of movement of the major joints, reduced...
Objectives: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) adversely affects many quality of life components, and is reported to impair sleep. The aim of this review was to determine the association between CLBP and sleep. Methods: This review comprised 3 phases: an electronic database search (PubMed, Cinahl Plus, EMBASE, PsychInfo, Pedro, and Cochrane Library) identified potential articles; these were screened for inclusion criteria by 2 independent reviewers; extraction of data from accepted articles; and rating of internal validity by 2 independent reviewers and strength of the evidence using valid and reliable...
