Observational Study on Functional Movement Screen for Chronic Lower Back Pain
This study is looking at how well a tool called the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) can help decide when patients with chronic lower back pain (LBP), meaning pain lasting more than 3 months, are ready to finish physical therapy. The main goal is to find a specific FMS score that shows you're less likely to have your pain come back and can move well after physical therapy. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 49 years old, have chronic lower back pain that doesn't require surgery, and meet other health requirements. This study is observational, meaning researchers will watch and collect information without giving you a specific treatment.
- Study design
