Abstract
I have tried to examine the objectivity of the evaluation method of treatment effects on patients with lower-back pain by testing on 31 healthy adults.
Particularly, I have tried to prepare a much more simple and objective measurement device as an evaluation method for lower-back pain. In doing so. I have made an assumption that was based on the range of motion of chest and lower-back. Through this, I was able to identify a method which easily and objectively measures the position and the angle in range of motion when one bends forward, backward, and side ways without using a goniometer. When this method was tested on patients with lower-back pain, I was able to objectively corroborate a mitigation and relief from pain among those who supplicated lower-back pain.
