A Comparıson of Functıonal Movemenet Screen, Physıcal Capacıty, Core Endurance, and Spınal Mobılıty in People Wıth and Wıthout Non-Specıfıc Low Back Paın

Non-Specific Low Back Pain (NSLBP), which constitutes approximately 90-95% of low back pain, is low back pain that cannot be defined by specific pathologies such as infection, tumor, osteoporosis, fracture, radicular symptoms or inflammatory diseases. NSLBP creates many health problems due to uncertainties in both its diagnosis and treatment. Due to the health problems and decreased functional activities of the individual, it creates a socioeconomic burden on both the individual and the country. NSLBP ranks 6th in the distribution of the economic burden caused by diseases to developed and developing societies. It is difficult to calculate how much burden it puts on the country's economy both directly (health institutions) and indirectly (loss of working days). However, in 1996 in the United States (USA), the economic burden of NSLBP patients is estimated to be between 18.5 and 28.2 million.

Although the age of first appearance of NSLBP is in the middle of the second decade and the beginning of the third decade, its prevalence increases until the middle of the sixth decade. NSLBP, which is more common in women aged 40-69 years, is more common in high-income countries. Due to the complex nature of the etiology of NSLBP, it is very difficult to define the risk factors. However, there may be many risk factors such as age, race, gender, muscle strength, body mass index, smoking, spine mobility. Since the underlying cause is not clear, there is currently no suitable evaluation and treatment method. For this, the patient's muscle strength, endurance, range of motion, physical capacity and functional movement analysis should be evaluated and interpreted.
