Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Back pain is a significant global health issue affecting both adolescents and adults.
  • Inconsistent findings in back pain research, particularly in athletes, stem from varied assessment instruments.
  • A comprehensive overview of existing assessment tools for athletes' back pain is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically map the evidence on instruments used for assessing back pain in athletes.
  • To identify the most appropriate and reliable tools for evaluating back pain in athletic populations.
  • To inform the standardization of back pain assessment and the development of sport-specific tools.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review will be conducted following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Searches will be performed across five major electronic databases: Embase, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, and Scopus.
  • Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts, with a third reviewer resolving discrepancies. Methodological quality will be assessed using the COSMIN checklist.

Main Results:

  • This section will present the findings of the systematic review, detailing the identified instruments for back pain assessment in athletes.
  • The review will synthesize data on the prevalence, incidence, and other variables related to back pain in athletes as measured by these tools.
  • Analysis will focus on the methodological quality and suitability of the identified instruments.

Conclusions:

  • This systematic review will provide a comprehensive overview of tools for assessing back pain in athletes.
  • The findings are expected to guide the selection of reliable and valid instruments, enhancing measurement consistency in research.
  • This work aims to contribute to the standardization of back pain assessment in athletes and support the development of sport-specific evaluation tools.
