Article type: Published article

Abstract

Abstract Background: The Roland-Morris questionnaire is one of the most widely used questionnaires, which have been designed for back pain. It has been shown to yield reliable measurements valid for inferring the level of disability in low back pain patients. The aim of this study is to validate the Roland-Morris questionnaire in patients with low back pain after translation and adaptation to the Lebanese population. Methods: The questionnaire was translated from English to Arabic and back translated using two separate Lebanese translators with English as their mother tongue. The questionnaire was applied on 122 patients with low back pain and then analyzed for reliability and validity. Results: Patients’ mean age was 61.43±17.22. Cronbach’s alpha, which was used to assess the internal consistency of the questionnaire, measured 0.778. Pearson correlation between the RMQ and NRS was r=0.407, p<0.0001. A three factors exploratory factor analysis was done. There was a high and significant correlation between the questions related to physical activity and NRS. Conclusion: The Lebanese version of the RMQ is a reliable and valid tool for the evaluation of low back pain.
