Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
VAS (Visual Analogic Scale)
It consists in identifying the patient, on a 10 cm line, the point that best represents his pain, where 0 means no pain and 10 = worst possible pain.
6 months
Sit and Reach flexibility test
Designed to test the flexibility of lower back and hamstring muscles and is important as a result of lumbar lordosis, forward pelvic tilt and lower back pain. The score is recorded to the nearest inch/cm or inch/cm as the distance reached by the hand. For women, the lowest value is ˂ -15 cm and the highest is ˃ +30 cm. For men instead, the lowest value is ˂ -20 cm and the highest is \>+27 cm.

Runtastic Performance Pedometer
\- Runtastic PRO is an app aimed at recording fitness in many activities and sports. It captures all basic data: distance, average speed, speed between mile markers, altitude, pace, step between mile markers, duration, calories burned and route plotted on a map using Global Positioning System. The final result shows how many steps are made in the arc of the minute (st / 60sec).
