In this study, we performed the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Back Performance Scale.
Low back pain (LBP) is defined as the pain that occurs in the area between the lower border of the scapula and the buttocks and sometimes radiates to the lower extremities. In the community, lower back pain is the second most common health problem after cold. 15% of LBP cases are chronic. Appropriate use of assessment questionnaires is one of the most important steps in the evaluation of the functional level of the patient and in deciding on an effective treatment protocol. The purpose of study is to determine the Turkish version, validity and reliability of Back Performance Scale. 180 patients with chronic low back pain were included in the study. Test-retest and internal consistency analysis were conducted to determine the reliability of the questionnaire. Test-retest results evaluated using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient method.
