Study Overview
Brief Summary
As patients improve on one parametric result, the results on the other parametric may worsen, but the total score may not be affected. For this reason, it would be useful to make measurements that evaluate all the parameters of the patients. Thus, it would be more advantageous to score both pain and symptoms separately, as well as activity limitations. Therefore, neck specific surveys are needed to meet this need.
For this reason, this study was planned to determine the validity of the questionnaire named "Profile Fitness Mapping Low Back Questionnaire" in patients with low back pain.
Detailed Description
The translation of the original version of "Profile Fitness Mapping Low Back Questionnaire" to Turkish will be translated by two independent professional translators. Afterwards, a person without a medical history and a native English speaker will be translated into English again. Once the translation stages are complete, the translators will be brought together to discuss the two versions of the questionnaire. Then the final state will be translated into the main language of the questionnaire and the compliance will be checked.
First of all, people who have been suffering from low back pain for at least six months will complete the "Profile Fitness Mapping Low Back Questionnaire", "Oswestry Disability Index" and "SF-36 health related quality of life questionnaire".
Seven days after the questionnaire, the "Profile Fitness Mapping Low Back Questionnaire" will be completed again.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Profile Fitness Mapping Low Back Questionnaire
Time Frame: Change from Baseline Profile Fitness Mapping Low Back Questionnaire score (functional limitation and symptom score) at 1 week.
The Profile Fitness Mapping Low Back Questionnaire was developed between 1992 and 1994 at the Alfta Rehab Center and consists of two back specific scales, designed for the assessment of self-estimated symptoms and functional limitations. The symptom scale contains two indices of separate aspects of symptomatology. All items are given six response alternatives (how often: range from 1 = never/very seldom, to 6 = very often/always; how much: range from 7 = nothing/none at all, to 12 = almost unbearable/ unbearable, all/maximally).The functional limitation scale (one index) and the symptom scale (two indices) are presented in a self-administered form. All items were given six response alternatives (ranging from 1 = very good, no problem, very satisfying, very likely, to 6 = very bad, very difficult/impossible, very dissatisfying, very unlikely). Higher index scores reflect better function/better health.
Secondary Outcomes
- SF-36 health related quality of life questionnaire(All of the participants will assess at baseline with this questionnaire.)
- Oswestry Disability Index(All of the participants will assess at baseline with this index.)
- Visual Analog Scale(All of the participants will assess at baseline with this scale.)
