What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Back Pain
Time Frame: 2 week
Pain will be measured using Numeric Pain Rating Scale, on a scale of 1 to 10. higher scores represent poorer outcome.
2 week
Disability
Time Frame: 2 week
Disability will be measured using Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. Higher scores represent poorer outcome.
2 week
Range of Motion
Time Frame: 2 week
Range of Motion will be measured using inclinometer. Higher scores represent better outcome.
2 week
Sleep Quality
Time Frame: 2 week
Sleep Quality will be measured using Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. Higher scores represent poorer outcome.
2 week
Postural Stability Index
Time Frame: 2 week
Postural Stability Index will be measured using Biodex Balance System. Higher scores represent poorer outcome.
2 week
Real time Physical Activity
Time Frame: 2 week
Real time Physical Activity will be measured using wearable sensor technology. Higher scores represent better outcome.
2 week
