Although the concepts of telemedicine and tele-rehabilitation have been frequently emphasized in recent years, the evaluation part remains inadequate. There is no study investigating remote technology-based balance, mobility and strength assessments in patients with low back pain. Therefore, the aim of the study is; It is the examination of face-to-face and technology-based remote balance, mobility and strength assessment in patients with low back pain.
2,373 studies on the registry are indexed under Back Pain; 284 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 50 is below the median of 60 across 1,941 interventional studies indexed under Back Pain.

Exclusion criteria
Face-to-face tests will be recorded by video and re-evaluation will be made over the video by another person who has not performed the tests. During technology-based remote evaluations, the evaluator will monitor the tests simultaneously via video. During technology-based remote evaluations, video recording will be made and a re-evaluation will be made over the video by another person who has not performed the tests.
Other: Tele-evaluation
Face-to-face applications were carried out with individuals with low back pain who came to Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital and volunteered to participate in the study.
Other: Tele-evaluation
Evaluations will be carried out in two different environments: face-to-face in the clinic and remotely using technology. Face-to-face applications and remote evaluations using technology will be repeated once. Face-to-face applications will be made to individuals with low back pain who come to Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital and volunteer to participate in the study. Then, patients will be video-called at home, asked to perform the tests twice as taught, and recorded as a video.
Also known as: Face to face evaluation
Oswestry disability index
The Oswestry Disability Questionnaire is a self-assessment tool that allows patients to assess the various constraints encountered during their daily activities. Utilizing a comprehensive scoring system ranging from 0 to 100, higher scores on the questionnaire indicate a heightened level of disability.
Time frame: An evaluation was made once at the beginning of the research.
Timed-up and go test
Simmonds et al. (1998) researched to ascertain the reliability of this test in swiftly and practically demonstrating functional status among patients with low back pain. The assessment involves the patient transitioning from seated to standing, traversing a 3-meter-long path, executing a turn, and returning to a seated posture. The duration of this performance is meticulously recorded
Time frame: An evaluation was made once at the beginning of the research.
Single Leg Stance Test
This examination, focused on assessing balance and static standing capacity, also offers insights into individuals' susceptibility to falls. During the evaluation process, participants were instructed to elevate their foot on their unaffected side and sustain this position for as long as possible. The termination of the test was determined by either contact of the free leg with the ground or a notable increase in arm oscillations
Time frame: An evaluation was made once at the beginning of the research.
Thirty Second Chair Stand Test
The Thirty Second Chair Stand Test is a validated and reliable assessment modality to gauge lower extremity strength (7). During the administration of this test, participants were tasked with repeatedly rising from and sitting back down on a chair within a 30-second timeframe, with the total number of repetitions recorded. A chair with a standardized sitting height of 43 cm was utilized for the assessments, and for safety precautions, it was positioned against a wall.
Time frame: An evaluation was made once at the beginning of the research.
