Four databases were searched from inception to October 12, 2023. Randomized controlled trials investigating CFT compared with any control group in patients with nonspecific LBP were included.

Low to moderate certainty of evidence was found that CFT was effective for disability at short, medium, and long term time points compared with alternate treatments, including usual care. Low to moderate certainty of evidence was found that CFT is effective for pain in the short and medium terms and probably in the long term. There was high certainty evidence CFT was effective in increasing pain self-efficacy in the medium and long terms. A single study found CFT was cost-effective compared with usual care.

Participants were 36 physical therapists with a specialization (n = 17) and without a specialization (n = 19) who treated 292 community-dwelling older adults. Level of adoption and fidelity were analyzed by comparing preimplementation scores with scores 1 year later. Coach2Move adoption was measured by e-assessment scores, and fidelity through health record indicators. The impact of specialization and adoption on health outcomes was examined using a mixed-model analysis of variance. Therapists' attitudes and experiences were collected through a survey based on semistructured interviews.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Mean (SD) total indicator scores on the e-assessment (adoption of a Coach2Move mindset) increased from baseline 17% (5%) to 47% (9%) at follow-up.

Mean (SD) indicator scores on health records (fidelity) increased from 35% (12%) at baseline to 47% (15%) at follow-up. Mean scores of physical therapists with a specialization in geriatrics were higher. Level of adoption and specialization (yes/no) did not explain the variance in effectiveness.
