Visual analogical scale
Pain was measured using a visual analogical scale (VAS). The VAS consists of a 10-cm line, with the left extremity representing (absence of pain) and the right extremity indicating (the worse pain devisable). Participants were asked to indicate in the scale their current level of pain being higher values related with more intense pain
Time frame: Change from baseline to 4 weeks and 6 months of follow up.
Oswestry Disability Index
The Oswestry Disability Index is a 10 item questionnaire measuring low back pain related disability. Individual item scores range from 0 to 5. Scores on all items are summed and multiplied by 2 to provide a percentage ranging between 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating greater low back pain related disability.
Time frame: Change from baseline to 4 weeks and 6 months of follow up.
Range of Motion
The spinal range of motion will be assessed with a digital inclinometer which indicates the results in angular degrees.
Time frame: Change from baseline to 4 weeks and 6 months of follow up.
