VAS consists of a single 10 cm line; The left end is described as "No pain" and the right end is described as "The most severe pain ever experienced". Patients will be asked to mark the severity of their current pain on a 10 cm line. When calculating, the marked point will be measured in cm.

In the current study, the RMDQ will be used to evaluate how participants' low back pain affects functional activities. The survey, which focuses on physical functions related to low back pain, consists of 24 questions. The questionnaire is most sensitive for patients with mild to moderate disability due to acute, subacute, or chronic low back pain. It is sensitive to change over time and has been shown to provide reliable measurements in determining the level of disability.

In the current study, QBPDS will be used to evaluate the disability of patients with low back pain during functional skills. The QBPDS consists of 20 items regarding daily activities selected from six relevant subdomains of functional skills for patients with low back pain. The scale is scored on a Likert scale from 0 to 5; 0 means "not difficult at all" and 5 means "I can\'t do it". The total score can range from 0 to 100; a higher score indicates a more severe disability.

Each section contains six statements scored from 0 to 5; The first expression is zero, indicating no disability.

Validated and widely used questionnaires for disability assessment include the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).
