What this Trial Is About
The aim of this study was to determine the multidimensional profile of individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and to determine the relationship between disability and fear avoidance beliefs, physical performance and quality of life in this population. Individuals with chronic low back pain between the ages of 18-50 will be included in the study. Disability level of the participants will be assessed with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), fear avoidance attitudes with Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire-Physical Activity (FABQ-PA), and quality of life with Short Form-12 (SF-12). Trunk endurance, functional mobility and static-dynamic balance will be assessed for physical performance. Trunk endurance will be assessed with McGill endurance tests, functional mobility with Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), dynamic balance with Y-balance test, and static balance with single leg stance test.
