AB  - The  multifactorial  nature  of  low  back  pain,  combined  with  the  difficulty  in  identifying  its  specific  cause,  makes  the  use  of  outcome  measures  extremely  important  in  understanding  the  impact  of  pain  on  a  patient’s  life.1  The  Oswestry  Disability  Index  and  the  Roland-Morris  Disability  Questionnaire  are  commonly  used  when  assessing  low  back  pain.  However,  these  outcome  measures  may  result  in  a  ceiling  effect  when  used  with  highly  active  patients  with  transient  conditions.  Generic  measures,  described  in  the  Section  1  opener,  are  also  often  used  in  clinical  practice  and  research.  Additionally,  because  low  back  pain  is  often  associated  with  fear  avoidance  beliefs  and  symptoms  of  depression,  a  variety  of  different  scales  should  be  used  to  determine  their  influence.1
