Summary

Back pain is often accompanied by changes in function. The performance of individuals with their backs on their wills may become more functional. It is believed that the test will present good to excellent reliability in individuals with chronic back pain. From this, it can be used in the clinic to verify the functional capacity of these individuals.

Detailed description

This study will be performed to verify the reliability of the functional tests for individuals with back pain. A study in which individuals with back pain will be assessed on the first day and after the interval of seven days. They should perform the 6-minute walk test and answer some questionnaires such as the Roland Morris - disability questionnaire, the IPAQ - physical activity level questionnaire and Numeric Rating Scale, after the tests will be performed Timed 10-Meter Walk Test and 30 Second Sit to Stand Test. To avoid a random error, a minimum sample size of 30 participants is required. For statistical analysis, Shapiro-Wilk test will be used for data normalization and the reliability between measurements will be calculated through do Intraclass Correlation Coefficients, standard error of measurement and Minimal Detectable Change. There were no studies in the literature and recorded in the Clinical Trials that evaluated the reliability of these tests for individuals with chronic low back pain.

Conditions

• Low Back Pain
• Adult

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	6-minute walk test	First day: Participants undertook 6-minute walk test. There was a 30-minute interval between the first and second test, when the patient was asked to rest. During the resting period, they respond a pain intensity, functional capacity and physical activity level questionnaire. Second day: the participants repeated the test and questionnaires.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	10 meters walk test	First day: After the second 6-minute walk test the participants perform the 10-meter walk test, the test must be performed three times with a 30-second interval, at the end the average test velocity. Second day: the participants repeated the test.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	30 Second Sit to Stand Test	At the end of the tests the participants perform the 30 Second Sit to Stand Test on the first and second day.
