No single "gold standard" exists for low back pain assessment. However, four functional tools demonstrate strong psychometric properties and international use for evaluating disability.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Pain Management
  • Health Outcomes Research

Context:

  • Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition impacting function and quality of life.
  • Accurate assessment of functional disability is crucial for effective LBP management.
  • Numerous assessment tools exist, necessitating a clear understanding of their properties.

Purpose:

  • To systematically identify and compare functional assessment tools for low back pain.
  • To evaluate the psychometric properties and characteristics of these tools.
  • To establish selection criteria for appropriate functional assessment in LBP.

Summary:

  • A systematic search identified 19 scales/questionnaires for LBP functional assessment.
  • Nine tools specifically target LBP functional incapacity, with four demonstrating good psychometric properties and international use.

  • Ten generic tools assess LBP outcomes, focusing on health status, quality of life, and pain.

    • Impact:

    • While no definitive "gold standard" exists, four tools (Dallas, Roland, Quebec, Oswestry) are recommended due to strong validity, feasibility, and adaptability.
    • These findings aid clinicians in selecting appropriate, evidence-based tools for LBP functional assessment.
    • Highlights the importance of psychometric rigor and international applicability in outcome measures.
