Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Assessment | From enrollment and after 4 weeks | VAS will be used to measure pain intensity. A 10 cm long line is used, where 0 represented no pain and 10 represented very severe pain. The distance from the marked point to 0 is recorded as a VAS score. |
| Sit and Reach test | From enrollment and after 4 weeks | The participant is asked to sit with their feet extended under the test bench. Without bending their knees, they are asked to lean their body forward and reach as far as possible on their fingertips, holding at that point for 2 seconds. |
| Trunk extension | From enrollment and after 4 weeks | Trunk extension: In the trunk extension flexibility test, the participant stands facing the wall, with their hips and torso in contact with the wall. The distance between the sternal notch and the wall is measured using a tape measure. |
| Lateral flexion | from enrollment and after 4 weeks | Right and left trunk lateral flexion flexibility test: The participant is positioned standing; feet shoulder-width apart, knees straight, torso upright, hips and shoulders in a neutral position. The participant's middle finger is used as the measurement point. During the measurement, the zero point of the measuring tape is placed in line with the middle finger. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| endurance test | from enrollment and after 4 weeks | The dynamic sit-up test is used to assess the endurance of the trunk flexor muscles of the participants, and the trunk extensor muscle endurance test is used to assess trunk extensor muscle endurance. In these measurements, the number of repetitions completed by the participants in 60 seconds is noted. |
| Quality of life assessment | From enrollment and after 4 weeks | The Short Form-36 will assess mental and physical health. This form will examine participants' physical and mental health status across eight sub-dimensions. Quality of life will be assessed through eight sub-dimensions: physical function, social function, physical role difficulty, emotional role difficulty, mental health, vitality, body pain, and general health. |
| Sleep quality | from enrollment and after 4 weeks | The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) will be used as a valid and reliable assessment tool to provide information about participants' sleep quality, as well as the type and severity of sleep disturbances over the past month. The scale will consist of 19 self-reported items and 7 sub-dimensions. In this measure, the following parameters will be evaluated: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each item on the scale will be scored between 0 and 3. |
