Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
back disability using oswestry disability index
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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)
