Announcing the formation of BACKS-L, Anyone interested in research on low back pain and/or resulting disability and/or its rehabilitation is invited to subscribe to BACKS-L, a conference for discussing questions, theories, techniques, equipment, successes, failures, and other pertinent matters about research in low back pain, disability and rehabilitation. To subscribe to this list, send the following one-line message to LISTSERV@UVMVM .UVM.EDU or LISTSERV@UVMVM: Subscribe BACKS-L <your full name> To post messages to the list, send them to [log in to unmask] or to BACKS-L.UVMVM.bitnet The intention of the list is to provide a place for people involved with research in back pain and related disciplines of all sorts to share information. While nobody moderates BACKS-L, the Vermont Rehabilitation Enginee ring Center for Low Back Pain (Vt. REC) "owns" it and will monitor it, lest it stray from its intended path. Although we will not object to "where can I get help?" inquiries about treatment facilities in particular geographic areas, we will discourage people from using the conference as an "online clinic" for low back problems.
