Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Oswestry disability index
Changes from base line Oswestry disability index was developed first by Fairbank et al. It was designed to measure the back pain and disability over time. It consists of 10, five parts sections. At the end, score is calculated by dividing the obtained score by total (50) multiplied by 100. As the driving section in all the female patients, total score was considered as 45 instead of 50.
