Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain reduction assessed by increasing the pain threshold to pressure by the algometer after the application of the aussie and interferential current. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: 1-point decrease in the numerical pain scale after the application of the aussie and interferential current.;Expected outcome 2: Decrease in numbers of descriptors on pain quality assesssed by MCGill questionary after aussie and intereferencial current application.;expected outcome 3: to verify the influence of biopsychosocial factors on low back pain in the response to treatment with the Aussie and interferential current by the start back screening tool.;Expected outcome 4: Improvement of flexibility of the lumbar spine and lower limbs after 12 weeks of training assessed by the schober test, hand-to-ground distance, sit-and-reach test after aussie and interferencial application;Expected outcome 5: improvement of abdominal resistance after application of aussie and interferential current by abdominal resistance test. | — |
