Economic Evaluation of an Exercise Program After Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain

The purpose of the study is to compare, after functional multidisciplinary rehabilitation for chronic low back pain, an exercise program to the routine follow-up which is simply to advice patients to exercise regularly at home. The exercise program should help patients stay active, which should translate into a better long term quality of life and decreased days off work.
