Relationships between Functional Movement Screen, VAS, ODI and Back Endurance in Individual with Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

ABSTRACT Background Nonspecific chronic low back pain (NCLBP) needs intervention for the management of pain and functional problems. Providing the same intervention in heterogeneous groups of subjects with NCLBP does not deliver effective back pain management. Recent studies have recommended NCLBP by classifying subjects into homogeneous groups.


Purpose The purpose of the present study is to determine whether FMS scores could evaluate the physical function of subjects with CLBP and to identify a relationship between the VAS and FMS, the ODI and FMS, and trunk endurance and FMS.


Study design Case-series study.


Methods 29 subjects with NCLBP were recruited and a relationship between trunk endurance, or VAS, or ODI and FMS was identified.


Results VAS (r=–0.409, p<0.05) and the ODI (r=–0.473, p<0.01) were negatively correlated with the FMS. The FMS was positively correlated with the back endurance test (r=0.381, p<0.041).


Conclusions FMS may assist in designing more effective individualized treatment plans to improve the functional capacity of subjects with CLBP.
