Key Points

The research aims to assess the responsiveness and clinical importance of two Persian functional scales in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain.
Evaluated the Persian versions of the BPFS and SFI
Assessed functional changes in patients after physiotherapy
Used clinical outcome measures to determine responsiveness
Both BPFS and SFI showed significant responsiveness to treatment
Clinically important changes were observed post-physiotherapy
Tools are suitable for both clinical and research applications

Implication

Demonstrates the effectiveness of the Persian BPFS and SFI in measuring functional changes in patients with chronic low back pain, implying their utility in clinical settings.

Abstract

The Persian versions of the BPFS and SFI are responsive and clinically useful tools for evaluating functional changes in patients with nonspecific chronic LBP following physiotherapy. These tools can be effectively utilized in both clinical and research settings to monitor treatment outcomes.
