INTRODUCTION Low back pain effects up to 80% of the population at some time during their active life. Questionnaires are available to help measure pain and disability. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is the most commonly used outcome measure for low back pain. The aim of this study was to see if training in completing the ODI forms improved the scoring accuracy. PATIENTS AND METHODS The last 100 ODI forms completed in a hospital's spinal clinic were reviewed retrospectively and errors in the scoring were identified. Staff members involved in scoring the questionnaire were made aware of the errors and the correct method of scoring explained. A chart was created with all possible scores to aid the staff with scoring. A prospective audit on 50 questionnaires was subsequently performed. RESULTS The retrospective study showed that 33 of the 100 forms had been incorrectly scored. All questionnaires where one or more sections were not completed by the patient were incorrectly scored. A scoring chart was developed and staff training was implemented. This reduced the error rate to 14% in the prospective audit. CONCLUSIONS Clinicians applying outcome measures should read the appropriate literature to ensure they understand the scoring system. Staff must then be given adequate training in the application of the questionnaires.

Background: Work-related musculoskeletal discomfort, especially low back pain (LBP) leads to substantial economic loss to individuals as well as to the community. Musculoskeletal disorders not only lead to loss of health but also loss of wealth. Bus conductors who are an important population in the community are at an increased risk of developing musculoskeletal symptoms. Their jobs involve prolonged standing and walking inside the bus for whole day which have been identified as risk factors for musculoskeletal discomfort. Materials and methods: A survey of 100 bus conductors from different bus routes between the age group of 20 to 50 years, having at least 1-year working history and standing for 5 h/day, was conducted in Guwahati city of Assam state. Those with a history of trauma, preexisting medical conditions, or musculoskeletal deformities were excluded. Prevalence of LBP was assessed using Oswestry disability low back Pain Questionnaire, musculoskeletal discomfort was assessed by using Cornell musculoskeletal discomfort questionnaire. Mean, standard deviation and percentage was calculated for analysis. Result: The mean for Oswestry disability low back pain score is 23.26 and SD is ±9.8786. According to Oswestry disability LBP interpretation score it falls under 21- 40 percent- moderate disability. CMDQ scoring shows the mean SD is higher in lower back, neck and both the knees. The result of the study shows that bus conductors have a higher susceptibility to the back, neck and knees. Conclusion: The bus conductors work continuously for long periods and their severe workload results in the development of disability in lower back. The conductors suffer from MSD in different parts of their body, particularly the lower back, neck and both knees, regions which hinders their normal work activities. Thus, it can be concluded that the bus conductors are highly stressed in their occupation due to the hazardous working condition and work behaviour, which also affects their health and overall work performance. KEY WORDS: Low back pain, Musculoskeletal disorder, Work related musculoskeletal disorder, Bus conductors, Oswestry disability low back pain questionnaire, Cornell musculoskeletal discomfort questionnaire.

Introduction: Due to rapid urbanization, the work of food delivery boys is tremendously increasing, leading to an increased prevalence of low back pain in them. This low back pain may eventually lead to temporary or permanent disability. Thus, the need of the study was to understand the prevalence of the disability due to chronic occupational low back pain which may occur in this population. Aim: To find the prevalence of disability in food delivery boys with chronic occupational low back pain. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of disability in food delivery boys with chronic low back pain using the Oswestry low back disability questionnaire. Methods: An observational study was conducted with 361 food delivery boys, aged 30-40 years, complaining of low back pain for more than 6 months. Only males who could read and understand English and who traveled for at least 6 hours a day were included in the study. The ones who had spinal deformities, any recent fractures, neurological disorders, or recent soft tissue or ligament injuries around the spine were excluded from the study. Food delivery boys who were involved in any other occupation were also excluded. Results: The average hours of riding the bike have been reported as 10.96 hours/day with an average distance of 141.69 kilometers daily. The average score on the Oswestry low back disability questionnaire was 8.63, accounting for 18.64% disability i.e. Minimal disability. Conclusion: This study concluded that the prevalence of disability in food delivery boys having chronic occupational low back pain is 64% indicating Minimal and 36% indicating Moderate disability. Key words: Chronic occupational low back pain, Disability, Food delivery boys, Oswestry disability index.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background and Purpose. The aim of this study was to examine 5 commonly used questionnaires for assessing disability in people with low back pain. The modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire, the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, the Waddell Disability Index, and the physical health scales of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) were compared in patients undergoing physical therapy for low back pain. Subjects and Methods. Patients with low back pain completed the questionnaires during initial consultation with a physical therapist and again 6 weeks later (n=106). Test-retest reliability was examined for a group of 47 subjects who were classified as “unchanged” and a subgroup of 16 subjects who were self-rated as “about the same.” Responsiveness was compared using standardized response means, receiver operating characteristic curves, and the proportions of subjects who changed by at least as much as the minimum detectable change (MDC) (90% confidence interval [CI] of the standard error for repeated measures). Scale width was judged as adequate if no more than 15% of the subjects had initial scores at the upper or lower end of the scale that were insufficient to allow change to be reliably detected. Results. Intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) calculated to measure reliability for the subjects who were classified as “unchanged” and those who were self-rated as “about the same” were greater than .80 for the Oswestry and Quebec questionnaires and the SF-36 Physical Functioning scale and less than .80 for the Waddell and Roland-Morris questionnaires and the SF-36 Role Limitations–Physical and Bodily Pain scales. None of the scales were more responsive than any other. Discussion and Conclusion. Measurements obtained with the modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire, the SF-36 Physical Functioning scale, and the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale were the most reliable and had sufficient width scale to reliably detect improvement or worsening in most subjects. The reliability of measurements obtained with the Waddell Disability Index was moderate, but the scale appeared to be insufficient to recommend it for clinical application. The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire and the Role Limitations–Physical and Bodily Pain scales of the SF-36 appeared to lack sufficient reliability and scale width for clinical application.

Background and Aims: So far there is no golden standard for the measurement of functional disability in spinal problems. The Oswestry index can be used to monitor the response to treatment and rehabilitation. It is based on a patient's subjective impression of his or her own state of disability. The purpose of this prospective study is to give a graphic presentation of the behaviour of the Oswestry index in different spine surgery groups. Material and Methods: The material includes 193 discectomy and decompressive operations. 37 of these patients had been operated earlier. The patients were observed for two years after the index operation through the mail with the Oswestry questionnaire. Results: Before an operation the average Oswestry index corresponded to severe disability on average. After successful treatment the Oswestry index dropped by 20–40 points on average. The more complex the problem the higher the postoperative lines remained. Conclusions: The results compared well with those of earlier studies. The graphs presented in this study may help the treating clinician to make conclusions on how his or her patients are doing on average after surgery.

Tikslas – nustatyti kineziterapijos poveikį slaugytojų, dirbančių slaugos skyriuje, juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmui ir funkcijai.
Tyrimo hipotezė – galvojame, kad naudojant juosmeninės stuburo dalies raumenis stiprinančius pratimus bei juosmens tempimą Saunders aparatu juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmas mažės, o funkcija – gerės.
Stuburo ligos yra labai paplitusios visame pasaulyje: apie 80 proc. pasaulio gyventojų bent kartą yra jautę vienokio ar kitokio intensyvumo nugaros skausmą. Apie 20 proc. gyventojų periodiškai pasikartoja nugaros skausmas, trunkantis tris ir daugiau dienų (Seibutis, 2008).
Nugaros juosmeninės dalies skausmas yra labai paplitęs, dažniausiai jis nustatomas darbingo amžiaus žmonėms nuo 30 iki 50 metų amžiaus (Secer ir kt., 2009).
Temos aktualumas – slaugos skyriuje dirbančiam personalui tenka susidurti su slaugos priemonių ir kėlimo įrangos stoka bei dideliu darbo krūviu, todėl personalas skundžasi varginančiais stuburo skausmais dėl netaisyklingo pacientų kėlimo ir vartymo (Aw et al., 2013).
Užsienio autorių (d'Errico et al., 2013) atliktuose tyrimuose buvo nustatyta, kad dirbančių slaugytojų tarpe ypatingai dažnas yra juosmeninės stuburo dalies skausmas, kurį būtina kontroliuoti ir imtis priemonių nedarbingumui dėl jo mažinti.
Temos naujumas – mokslinių tyrimų ir straipsnių apie slaugos skyriuje dirbančių slaugytojų nugaros juosmeninės dalies skausmus nėra daug.

Hypothesis of research – we think that the use of lumbar spine exercises and lumbar strain Saunders apparatus lumbar spine pain will decrease and the function is going to get better.
Spinal diseases are very common in all world: about 80 percent of world population at least once felt one or another back pain intensity. About 20 percent of population back pain, lasting for three or more days is periodically recurring (Seibutis, 2008).
Low back pain is a very common disorder, but mostly is determinated for able – bodied persons aged from 30 till 50 years old (Secer et al., 2009).
Relevance of the subject – in the care unit working staff have to deal with the lack of nursing tools and lifting equipment and a heavy workload, because staff complaining to of troublesome of low back pain about incorrect patient lifting and turning (Aw et al., 2013).
Previous investigations of foreign authors, it was found that nurses working in particular among frequent is pain in the lumbar spine, which it is necessary to monitor the occurrence of and to take measures for its reduction (d'Errico et al., 2013).
Newness of the subject – research and articles about nursing for nurses working in the section of the back lumbar pain is not a lot of. Whereas the sections working in nursing nurses working conditions and the lack of attention given to the workload, decreasing... [to full text]

Previous issue date: 2006<br>Resumo: A literatura tem identificado a necessidade de utilização de instrumentos de medida padronizados e confiáveis que avaliam a dor lombar. O questionário Oswestry tomou-se um dos principais instrumentos utilizados para avaliar os distúrbios da coluna vertebral. O objetivo desse estudo foi traduzir e adaptar a versão do questionário Oswestry para o português e avaliar sua validade e confiabilidade. A adaptação cultural foi realizada de acordo com a metodologia recomendada internacionalmente, usando as seguintes fases: tradução, retro-tradução, revisão por um comitê de especialistas e pré-teste. Primeiramente, o questionário foi traduzido para o português por dois tradutores bilíngües, de uma forma independente. Posteriormente, dois outros tradutores profissionais que possuíam como língua materna o inglês, fizeram a retro-tradução independentemente um do outro. Um comitê composto por seis especialistas revisou as versões obtidas e desenvolveram a versão final do instrumento. Essa versão foi pré-testada em 40 pacientes com lombalgia. A confiabilidade foi avaliada através da estabilidade (teste-resteste) e da consistência interna. A validade foi obtida comparando-se a pontuação do Oswestry com outros instrumentos de medida: o questionário Roland-Morris, o questionário SF-36 e uma escala numérica de dor. As propriedades psicométricas da versão traduzida foram avaliadas aplicando o questionário em 120 sujeitos com dor lombar. Os resultados mostraram uma boa validade e consistência interna (Alfa de Cronbach=0,87). No teste-resteste os resultados apontaram uma alta correlação intraclasse (r=0,99). O questionário Oswestry demonstrou possuir uma moderada correlação com a dor, usando-se uma escala numérica de dor (r=0,66). Uma correlação relativamente alta foi encontrada entre as pontuações do Oswestry e do Roland-Morris (r=0,81). Houve uma correlação significante (p<0,001) entre a pontuação do Oswestry e as oito dimensões do questionário SF-36. Os coeficientes de correlação mais altos foram com a capacidade funcional (r=0,83), com a dor (r=0,58) e com os aspectos físicos (r=0,53). Este estudo demonstrou que o processo usado para a adaptação do questionário Oswestry foi realizado com sucesso e que a versão adaptada possui excelentes propriedades psicométricas<br>Abstract: Reports in the literature have identified a need for internationally standardized and reliable measurements to analyse back pain. The Oswestry questionnaire has become one of the principal outcome measures used in the management of spinal disorders. The objective of this study was to translate and adapt a version of the Oswestry questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese and evaluate its reliability. The cross-cultural adaptation was performed according to the internationally recommended methodology, using the following guidelines: translation, back-translation; revision by an expert committee and pretesting. First the questionnaire was independently translated into Portuguese by two bilingual translators. Second, two other professional translators whose mother tongue was English performed a back-translation independently from one another. A committee consisting of six specialists was brought together and developed a final version. This version was pretested on 40 subjects suffering from low back pain. Reliability was estimated through stability (test-retest) and homogeneity assessment. The validity was tested comparing scores of the Oswestry with the following measures: The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, the SF-36 questionnaire and a numerical pain scale. The psychometric properties of the translated version were evaluated by administering the questionnaire to 120 subjects with back pain. Results indicated good content validity and internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = 0.87). Intraclass correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability was r = 0.99. The Oswestry questionnaire showed moderate correlation with pain measure using a numerical pain scale (r = 0 66). Relatively high correlation was also found between the Oswestry and the Roland - Morris scores (r = 0.81). There was significant correlation (p< 0.001) between the Oswestry scores and the eight scales of the SF - 36 questionnaire. The highest correlation coefficients were for physical functioning (r = 0,83); bodily pain (r = 0,58) and role physical (r = 0,53).

Thesis (MScPhysio (Physiotherapy))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.<br>The prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in United Arab Emirates (UAE) is estimated to be about 57% in males and 64% in females. Low back pain is commonly treated by primary care physicians and physiotherapists in the UAE. are increasingly used for clinical assessment, to demonstrate and reflect on the effectiveness of an intervention. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is Self-reported outcome measure that widely used and recommended for LBP. ODI Arabic version was developed and validated in women population. To date no UAE Arabic version of the ODI exists which has been cross-culturally adapted, validated and published in the peer-reviewed literature.
.
Objective
The objectives are, to cross-culturally adapt the Arabic version of the ODI developed in Tunisia to devise a pre-final ODI-UAE Arabic version; to pre-test the pre-final ODI-UAE Arabic version in a target group of patients to devise the final ODI-UAE Arabic version; and to determine the reliability and construct validity of the final ODI-UAE Arabic version.
Study design
Culture adaptation, reliability and validity testing.
Methodology
The cross culture adaptation of the ODI Arabic version developed in Tunisia was performed in accordance with the published guidelines. For reliability 108 clients of UAE nationals with LBP were consecutively selected and completed the final ODI-UAE Arabic version, at baseline and 48 hours, and test–retest reliability and internal consistency were calculated. For validity 108 completed the final ODI-UAE Arabic version, VAS, and the Squat test at baseline and 4 weeks follow up;
construct validity, items frequency response, response to change and floor and ceiling were evaluated.
Results
The ODI-UAE (9 questions) had high level of test–retest with ICC of 0.99; the mean at baseline and 48 hours was (0.68); Cronbach's alpha was 0.99. Strong positive correlation with VAS r =>0.70 (p = <0.01), and moderate inverse correlation between ODI and Squat r =>0.65 (p = <0.01).The results of the maximum frequency response were less than 80% for the entire 9 question. The effect size and the SRM of ODI-UAE, VAS and Squat test at baseline and 4 weeks were identical comparable the effect size, were 1.66, 1.85, and 1.59 respectively. ODI-UAE demonstrated absence of floor and ceiling effect; less than 15% of the respondents achieved the lowest or highest possible score respectively (0 -11.5) or (87-100%).
Conclusion
The ODI-UAE Arabic version is an easy to understand, reliable and valid condition-specific outcome measure for the measurement of the limitation of functional ability cause by LBP in the United Arab Emirates national population.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether an adapted Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (ARMDQ) could be used to determine functional status in subjects with chronic mechanical low back pain, and thereby assist the surgeon in deciding on the appropriateness of spinal fusion surgery for individual patients. The study aimed to detem1ine whether the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) improved its ability to measure function and different aspects of function through the addition of a 26-item scale (AddS). The study design was retrospective and descriptive. A convenience sample of 42 subjects who consulted one Orthopaedic surgeon working in a private practice in the South Peninsula Municipal area of Cape Town, South Africa, was drawn. All subjects were diagnosed with chronic mechanical low back pain and no other known pathology. Subjects consulted the surgeon between August 2000 and July 200 I. All subjects had completed the adapted RMDQ (ARMDQ). A series of analyses were performed in which the items in the AddS scale were compared with those of the RMDQ to assess the degree to which they enhanced the performance of the RMDQ. Although there was a high correlation between the two scales (R=. 72; P<.00), Cronbach's alpha showed the reliability of the RMDQ to be higher than the AddS and the ARMDQ. This finding was supported in a number of subsequent analyses. There was a low correlation between the rating for surgery and total RMDQ scores (r=.40; P<.01). Despite deficiencies in the RMDQ, it is recommended as the basis for comparison in future studies within a variety of South African contexts.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes the evaluation of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) using a fuzzy inference system. The ODI is used to evaluate the impact of the low back pain on the patient's quality of life. The patient grades from 0 to 5 a number of 10 questions regarding usual daily activities. At the end a mathematical formula is used to calculate the degree of the impact/disability. It has been observed that this method easily can generate false positive results due to the fact that patients purposely try to score a higher degree so that they can benefit from advantages offered by the medical system. To eliminate the false positive results a fuzzy inference system was developed which can identify the contradictory input data and warn the medical staff about a possible erroneous result.

Low back pain from arthritic lumbar facet joints and painful degenerative lumbar discs is widespread and one of the world's most disabling diseases, consuming significant health care resources. In this chapter, the authors report using autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and ozone spinal injections into arthritic lumbar facet joints and painful lumbar degenerative discs to treat inflammatory pain. A prospective observational cohort study from January 2016 to March 2020 was performed at an outpatient clinic of a single academic medical center to assess these injections' safety and therapeutic effectiveness in conjunction with epidural transforaminal epidural steroid injections. Results indicated functional improvements measured by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and modified MacNab criteria and pain measured by visual analog scale leg pain (VAS) at rest and during flexion. Although our study was limited in scope, and by the observational nature of our research and the lack of randomized and double-blinding, our work suggests that rapid pain reduction and functional gains may materialize in patients with low back pain due to herniated disc after spinal injections with ozone and activated PRP.

Since 1990, the global burden of disability associated with low back pain is increasing continuously in all the age groups. The disability rate was highest in the age 50-54 in 2019. Working age group (20-65 years) people had the highest burden of disability about 70%. The prevalence and people living with LBP have been increasing continuously until the age of 80-89 years the greatest number of people with LBP globally are currently in the 50-54 year age group. Global Burden of Disease studies have defined LBP as “pain in the posterior aspect of the body from the lower margin of the twelve ribs to the lower gluteal folds with or without pain referred into one of the lower limbs that last for at least one day. Persistence of pain/symptoms for more than 3 months is defined as chronic. Appropriate tools for measuring mobility and activities of daily living was recently characterized as a priority for research by an international task force on back pain. Timed tests of activities such as walking, sit-tostand task, and repeated trunk flexion have been examined in patients with back pain and shown to have what we consider acceptable reliability, and to be sensitive to change over time. Decreased mobility of the trunk often is considered a Manifestation of low back pain includes decreased mobility of trunk and limitations of activities like, bending, twisting, stooping, crouching, lifting, dressing, picking up objects from floor. Research states that performance based tests used in patients with low back pain is used in determining functioning and activity limitations. The most common outcome measure used in chronic low back pain is ODI, a self-reported questionnaire.

Substantial evidence exists supporting lumbar fusion procedures in cases of spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, and other cases of sagittal deformity. However, coronal deformity can also be a cause of low back and leg pain. One hundred seven patients underwent minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MITLIF). All patients had preoperative and postoperative radiographs exhibiting a clear coronal deformity that correlated with their symptomatology. Dynamic radiographs were analyzed using a three-point angle measurement tool through the EasyViz viewer program. Pre-op and post-op Cobb angles (CA) were recorded along with Health-related Quality of Life (HRQL) measures, Visual Analog Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, and SF-36. The average CA decreased from 9.47 pre-op to 7.54 post-op (p < 0.05). CA ranged from 0.7 to 43.2% pre-op, and 0.7 to 34.1% post-op. There was a statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlation between CA improvement and HRQL measure improvement. There has not been an appropriate level of focus on coronal deformity, its relationship to HRQL measures, and long-term prognosis. In our study, CA was reduced by 21% on average with just a single-level fusion, supporting the consideration of a focused single-level fusion versus a large multilevel fusion in cases of coronal deformity, especially in elderly patients.

Combining the percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) with interspinous process distraction systems (ISP) may offer additional benefits in treating spinal stenosis in patients who have failed conservative treatment. We retrospectively investigated the medical records of 152 patients who underwent transforaminal endoscopic decompression with simultaneous ISP placement through the same incision. Patients were operated on from January 2008 to June 2016 and included 80 males, and 72 patients were females. Clinical data analysis was done on 142 patients two years postoperatively since ten patients were lost in follow-up. Primary outcome measures were pre-and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) criteria and the Oswestry Disability Index. Only patients with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were included. The analysis included 224 patients who underwent interspinous spacers during the transforaminal endoscopic decompression. Of the 152 patients, 84 complained of axial facet-related pain syndromes versus the remaining 68 patients who chiefly complained of radicular symptoms. The postoperative VAS reduction at two year follow-up for the low back was 6.4. The patient-reported ODI reductions were of a similar magnitude at 40.4%. According to Macnab criteria, the percentage of patients who graded their surgical results as excellent or good was 90%. At two-year follow-up, 5 percent of patients required another operation to deal with failure to cure or recurrent symptoms due to implant subsidence. The authors concluded that adding an interspinous process spacer to the endoscopic decompression in patients treated for lateral lumbar stenosis and foraminal stenosis with low-grade spondylolisthesis might improve clinical outcomes by stabilizing the posterior column.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The article aims to evaluate the functional impact of manipulation/mobilization of the lumbar region in patients with mechanical low back pain (MLBP). The survey was conducted with 23 patients (12 male and 11 female) with subacute MLBP, mean age 42,8 (32-50 y.o.). They respond to the criterion for application of spinal mobilization techniques and have not been treated with any other kind of treatment by that time. The patients were assessed at the beginning of every treatment session with the Shober test and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) with a six-week follow-up. Every patient has four visits in the first two weeks and one final visit after six weeks. Methods. Techniques for high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation of the lumbar region were used to treat the patients. First rotations, then posterior-anterior glidings were assessed on every level and applied in the region of hypo mobility. Results. There has been significant improvement in the symptoms of MBP in 21 (91.30%). In the rest of them, there was no benefit from the lumbar manipulation, and they were treated with lower thoracic spine mobilization techniques. Maximum benefit has been recorded after the first and second treatment sessions. Most often, rotational mobility has been affected, and rotational mobilization has been of more benefit. Conclusion. The hypo mobility of the lumbar region is the main source for MBP in patients that meet the criterion for application of spinal manipulation. That is why we strongly recommend functional assessment and treatment of the lumbar segmental mobility in every case of MBP with impact onto posterior-anterior thrust techniques.

The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with spinal disorders among video display unit workers. Ninety-two workers answered the Nordic Questionnaire; Need for Recovery scale; Rolland-Morris Disability questionnaire; Work Ability Index; Job Content Questionnaire and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Workers reported musculoskeletal symptoms in last 7 days, functional limitation and medical seek in the last 12 months, respectively, for the neck (13.0%, 5.4%, 9.8%), upper (15.2%, 7.6%, 9.8%) and lower back (22.8%, 10.9%, 10.9%).Symptoms in the neck were predicted by gender; in the upper back by age; and in the lower back by dedication and absorption. Functional limitation in the neck was predicted by vigor; in the upper back by age, need for recovery and social support; and in the lower back by gender, need for recovery and work ability. Seek for health care due to neck symptoms was predicted by work ability and absorption; in the upper back by control, work ability and absorption; and in the lower back by age, work ability and absorption. Low back disability was predicted by need for recovery and functional limitation. Musculoskeletal complaints are predicted by multiple factors, which reinforces the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.

Full textAbstract:
Low back pain is pain in the posterior aspect of the body between the lower margin of the twelfth rib and the lower gluteal folds, and can radiate to the lower limbs. Classified by the American Physical Therapy Association's Clinical Practice Guideline as acute (up to six weeks) or chronic (more than six weeks). Studies show that 41.2% of university students suffer from low back pain exacerbated by biopsychosocial factors, such as catastrophizing, affecting their daily life. Therefore, the aim of this studywas to identify whether there is a relationship between catastrophizing and the intensity of chronic nonspecific low back pain in university students. This is an analytical cross-sectional study, approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Northern Paraná (Opinion: 6,082,631; CAAE 68394522.3.0000.8123). The sample consisted of 40 students from the State University of Northern Paraná (UENP), Jacarezinho campus -PR. All data collection took place in person at the university's physiotherapy clinic. Initially, the intensity of low back pain was measured using the Numerical Pain Scale (NDS) and later the Pain Catastrophizing Scale(PCS) was applied, which would evaluate catastrophizing of university students with the presence of nonspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP). The study included 40 university students with a mean age of 21 years, 70% of whom were women. Previous studies have shown that psychological aspects influence pain intensity and disability more than anatomical factors, corroborating the data found in our study, since there was a significant (moderate) correlation (p≤0.05) between pain intensity andthe B-PCS questionnaire score, suggesting that the higher the pain intensity, the higher the level of catastrophizing of university students. Thus, it is concluded that catastrophizing is related to pain intensity in university students with chronic nonspecific low back pain. These findings highlight the importance of addressing psychosocial factors in the treatment of patients with low back pain
