- Brief Summary
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most enormous and challenging disorders. LBP represents a leading cause of disability worldwide. A number of variables (clinical, functional and mechanical) may predispose to back disability. Clinical variables such as pain may affect the patient ability to move and also may result in muscle spasm that led to more pain and movement restriction. Further, functional capabilities may affect the patient and when reduced may lead to disability. Moreover, biomechanical factors such as abnormal posture creates abnormal stress and strain in many spinal structures which are considered predisposing factors for pain and disability.
There is a gab of evidence to examine the relationships between those variables and to predict disability in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain using various variables.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method back disability using oswestry disability index 1 month oswestry disability index has been designed to give us information as to how your back pain has affected your ability to manage everyday life. For each question, there is a possible 5 points; 0 for the first answer, 1 for the second answer, etc. Add up the total for the 10 questions and rate them on the scale at right.. 0 - 4 No disability 5 - 14 Mild disability 15 - 24 Moderate disability 25 - 34 Severe disability 35 - 50 Completely disabled
back pain intensity using visual analogue scale 1 month visual analogue scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity. no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain(5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75-100 mm)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method back functional ability using back performance scale 1 month Back performance scale (BPS) has been found to reflect important aspects of physical functioning. It consists of Sock Test, the Pick-up Test, the Roll-up Test, the Fingertip-to-Floor Test, and the Lift Test. For each test a score of 0 was considered a good performance with no signs of activity limitation, a score of 1 was considered a somewhat limited performance, a score of 2 was considered a rather distinct limitation of performance, and a score of 3 was considered a substantially limited performance, if performed at all. The BPS sum score is calculated by adding the individual scores of the 5 tests ranging from 0 to 15.
