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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• back disability using oswestry disability index

  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

  1 month

• back pain intensity using visual analogue scale

  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)

Interventions

sorensen test for back endurance DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

• Biering-Sorensen test will be utilized to gauge the trunk extensor muscles' isometric endurance. The patient will be lying on a treatment couch, prone. The top half of the body will be permitted to rest on a chair prior to the test starting. The patient will be told to elevate their upper trunks off of the chair at the start of the test. the examiner determined how long the individual could hold this position.

6 minute walk test DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

It gauges how far a person can go while walking for a total of six minutes on a level, hard surface. Cones will be used to mark turns at the start and end of the 30-meter border and every three meters throughout the corridor or walkway that was utilized for the test. The patient's objective is to cover the most distance in six minutes at a reasonable pace. It gauges how far a person can go while walking for a total of six minutes on a level, hard surface.

c7-s1 SVA DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Subjects will obtain standardized lateral views radiographs in a neutral standing position for the whole spine. The C7- S1 SVA will be measured as the distance from the plumb line dropped from the center of the C7 vertebral body to the most posterior edge of the upper sacral endplate surface.
