Brief Summary

This survey study aims to analyze the cultural adaptation, validity, and reliability of a scale originally in English and currently being translated into Turkish, which allows athletes with low back pain to assess their functional disabilities in sports and exercise activities as well as their disabilities in daily living activities. Athletes with low back pain will be asked to fill out 3 questionnaires.

Low Back Pain; Disability; Athlete; Sport

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Athlete Disability Index Questionnaire (ADI)

  The Athlete Disability Index Questionnaire (ADI) is a self-administered questionnaire to assess disability related to low back pain in athletes. The ADI measures athletes' functional disability in activities of daily living as well as their disability in sports and exercise activities. The ADI consists of 12 questions that include pain intensity, stretching exercises, strengthening/weight training exercises, sport-specific skills (technical skills), rotational waist movements/changing direction, fear of pain or re-injury, sitting, walking, recreational activities, sexual activity, sleep, and personal care (ability to put on socks and shoes, ability to go to the bathroom). Each question is scored from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating a more severe condition.

  7 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI)

  1 day

• Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ)

Interventions
