FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY AND DISABILITY IN OLDER ADULTS WITH CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN: A STUDY OF RESPONSIVENESS

Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition in older adults, being identified as a cause of disability in this population. Despite ir validity and reliability, the functional capacity tests are not often administered in patients with LBP but provide useful information related to mobility. A measurement property of the functional capacity tests that has not been investigated extensively in the LBP field is the resiveness, such as the capacity to detect changes during the intervention.
