Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain assessment Visual Analog Pain Scale will be used. This instrument is able to quantify the pain subjectively, from zero to 10, being zero with no pain at all and 10 with unbearable pain. For evaluation the researcher will direct the following question to the patient: "How is your pain now?".;Anthropometric evaluation Body mass index (BMI) will be checked by measuring height and body weight. The weight will be measured using a previously calibrated anthropometric scale, the individual being lightly dressed and barefoot. The measurement of height will be performed on the same scale through the stadiometer with the barefoot individual, arms extended along the body and in respiratory apnea. Three measurements of height and weight will be made, and the median of these will be recorded. The BMI calculation is done by dividing the weight (in kilograms) by the height (in meters) squared.;Quality of life assessment For the evaluation of the quality of life will be used the questionnaire SF-3637 according to Annex II. This instrument consists of 11 questions and 36 items that encompass eight domains represented by functional capacity, physical aspects, pain, general health, vitality, social aspects, emotional aspects and mental health. The application of this questionnaire is done through the attribution of a note for each question, later transformed into a scale of "0" to "100" per domain, where "0" corresponds to the worst quality of life and "100" the best quality of life.;Assessment of functional disability Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire will be used to assess disability. This instrument is composed of 24 items that describe everyday situations that patients have difficulty performing due to low back pain. The questions have a dichotomous answer (yes or no) and the end result corresponds to the sum of yes answers. This result can range from 0 to 24, with zero being a person with no complaints and the maximum value for a patient with very severe limitations. Th | — |
