Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
visual pain scal	12 weeks	A 10-cm line where participants mark their pain intensity, ranging from 'no pain' to 'worst pain'.
Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS)	12 weeks	Assesses functional disability related to back pain through 20 daily activity items. Higher scores indicate greater limitation in performing physical tasks.
Pressure Algometer	12 weeks	Measures the minimum pressure that causes pain in a specific muscle or soft tissue, helping to quantify pain sensitivity objectively.
Y-Balance Test (YBT)	12 weeks	Evaluates balance by measuring reach distance in three directions while standing on one leg. It reflects dynamic stability, core control, and lower limb function.
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK)	12 weeks	Assesses fear of movement and re-injury through a 17-item questionnaire. Higher scores indicate increased avoidance behavior and movement-related fear.The final score can be a minimum of 17 points and a maximum of 68 points.
