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.

Conditions

• Low Back Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	sorensen test for back endurance	• 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.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	6 minute walk 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.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	c7-s1 SVA	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.
