It consists of an 11 point scale ranging from 0 to 10 where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst possible pain Range of Motion (ROM) of Lumbar Spine Goniometer A goniometer is a precise instrument used to measure the range of motion of joints including lumbar spine movements Muscle Strength Dynamometer A dynamometer is used to assess muscle strength by measuring the force produced during muscle contractionTimepoint: At baseline
