AB  - The  multifactorial  nature  of  low  back  pain,  combined  with  the  difficulty  in  identifying  a  structural  culprit,  means  that  the  use  of  outcome  measures  is  important  in  understanding  the  impact  of  the  pain  on  the  patient's  life.1  The  Oswestry  Disability  Index  and  the  Roland-Morris  Disability  Questionnaire,  both  commonly  used  for  patients  with  low  back  pain,  may  suffer  from  ceiling  effects  when  used  with  highly  active  patients  who  have  transient  conditions.  Generic  measures,  described  in  the  section  opener  at  the  beginning  of  this  text,  are  also  often  used.  Additionally,  because  low  back  pain  is  often  associated  with  fear  avoidance  beliefs  and  symptoms  of  depression,  different  scales  are  often  used  to  determine  their  influence.1
