Study Overview
Brief Summary
Brief Summery: Low back pain is a significant, serious and widespread problem in our world today, both in terms of social and economic burdens. It should be emphasized that even the young adult age group is very often affected by non-specific, low back pain without proven pathoanatomical changes.
The aim of our current study is to assess the prevalence of low back pain among young adults, and we would like to examine the musculoskeletal and psychosocial factors associated with low back pain that can be justified as risk factors. Our further goal is to assess and compare lumbar sensorimotor control in young people without complaints and with low back pain.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
STABILITY LIMIT TESTS
Time Frame: 12 minutes
LATERAL REACH, MODIFIED LATERAL REACH, REACH FORWARD, MODIFIED REACH FORWARD: special functional tests for stability limit.
STABILIZER PRESSURE BIOFEEDBACK
Time Frame: 5 minutes
Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback is an easy to use device that provides a visual indication of whether you are working the correct postural muscles, in the right manner, when performing specific exercises. Intended for the prevention and treatment of back pain, neck pain, and to improve core stability
ZEBRIS CMS-10 ULTRASOUND SYSTEM
Time Frame: 10 minutes
ZEBRIS CMS10 computer-controlled, ultrasound-based motion analysis system located in the Biomechanical Laboratorium
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
Time Frame: 10 minutes
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a screening tool used to evaluate seven fundamental movement patterns in individuals with no current pain complaint or musculoskeletal injury. The FMS is not intended to diagnose orthopedic problems but rather to demonstrate opportunities for improved movement in individuals. The screen is designed to place an individual in extreme positions where movement deficits become noticeable if appropriate stability and mobility are not used.
DIAGNOSTICAL ULTRASOUND - MUSCULOSKELETAL ULTRASOUND
Time Frame: 12 minutes
An imaging procedure that allows doctors, physiotherapist to see muscles, joints, and more. For diagnosing muscle tears/strains, nerves, and arthritis. Physical therapy or injection of medicine may be next step. Involves radiology and center for musculoskeletal care.
NEUROCOM BASIC BALANCE MASTER
Time Frame: 20 minutes
Limits of Stability (LOS), Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB), Rhythmic Weight Shift (RWS) special tests for the balancing and motor control paremeters.
