[pdf] efficacy of directional preference management for low back pain: a systematic review | semantic scholar
although this systematic review showed mixed results, some evidence was found supporting the effectiveness of dpm when applied to participants with a dp, particularly at short-term and intermediate-term follow-ups. background providing specific treatment based on symptom response for people with low back pain (lbp) and a directional preference (dp) is a widely used treatment approach. the efficacy of treatment using the principles of directional preference management (dpm) for lbp is unclear. objective the purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of treatment using the principles of dpm for people with lbp and a dp. methods computer databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (rcts) published in english up to january 2010. only rcts investigating dpm for people with lbp and a dp were included. outcomes for pain, back specific function, and work participation were extracted. results six rcts were included in this review. five were considered high quality. clinical heterogeneity of the included trials prevented meta-analysis. grade quality assessment revealed mixed results; however, moderate evidence was identified that dpm was significantly more effective than a number of comparison treatments for pain, function, and work participation at short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term follow-ups. no trials found that dpm was significantly less effective than comparison treatments. conclusions although this systematic review showed mixed results, some evidence was found supporting the effectiveness of dpm when applied to participants with a dp, particularly at short-term and intermediate-term follow-ups. further high-quality rcts are warranted to evaluate the effect of dpm applied to people with lbp and a dp.

the influence of centralization and directional preference on spinal control in patients with nonspecific neck pain
the prevalence of neck pain is estimated at 20-70% and represents the second leading musculoskeletal cause of disability in the united states. mechanical diagnosis and therapy (mdt) is a system of musculoskeletal examination and treatment which involves an analysis of the patient’s response to end range repeated movements. the testing of end range repeated movements may determine a direction of motion that improves the person’s symptoms and/or movement and is referred to as a directional preference (dp). the deep neck flexor test (dnft) assesses neuromuscular control of the cervical spine, which is often impaired in people with neck pain. a published case study of a person with neck pain found a relationship between directional preference and improved deep neck flexor strength. the purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between dp and neuromuscular control, as measured with the dnft, in patients referred for physical therapy at the catholic health system of buffalo, ny.

arithmetic control of llms for diverse user preferences: directional preference alignment with multi-objective rewards
fine-grained control over large language models (llms) remains a significant challenge, hindering their adaptability to diverse user needs. while reinforcement learning from human feedback (rlhf) shows promise in aligning llms, its reliance on scalar rewards often limits its ability to capture diverse user preferences in real-world applications. to address this limitation, we introduce the directional preference alignment (dpa) framework. unlike the scalar-reward rlhf, dpa incorporates multi-objective reward modeling to represent diverse preference profiles. additionally, dpa models user preferences as directions (i.e., unit vectors) in the reward space to achieve user-dependent preference control. our method involves training a multi-objective reward model and then fine-tuning the llm with a preference-conditioned variant of rejection sampling finetuning (rsf), an rlhf method adopted by llama 2. this method enjoys a better performance trade-off across various reward objectives. in comparison with the scalar-reward rlhf, dpa offers users intuitive control over llm generation: they can arithmetically specify their desired trade-offs (e.g., more helpfulness with less verbosity). we also validate the effectiveness of dpa with real-world alignment experiments on mistral-7b. our method provides straightforward arithmetic control over the trade-off between helpfulness and verbosity while maintaining competitive performance with strong baselines such as direct preference optimization (dpo).
