Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Functionality, assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Functionality Questionnaire, validated for the Portuguese language, which is used to assess functional capacity in individuals with low back pain and consists of 10 items that represent limitations in activities including personal care, lifting objects, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, locomotion and pain intensity; the score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disability; the minimal clinically significant difference for ODI is estimated at 6 points for acute low back pain.
