Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Back Pain	Pain will be measured using Numeric Pain Rating Scale, on a scale of 1 to 10. higher scores represent poorer outcome.	2 week
Primary	Disability	Disability will be measured using Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. Higher scores represent poorer outcome.	2 week
Primary	Range of Motion	Range of Motion will be measured using inclinometer. Higher scores represent better outcome.	2 week
Primary	Sleep Quality	Sleep Quality will be measured using Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. Higher scores represent poorer outcome.	2 week
Primary	Postural Stability Index	Postural Stability Index will be measured using Biodex Balance System. Higher scores represent poorer outcome.	2 week
