Evaluation of Nonspecific Low Back Pain Using a New Detailed Visual Analogue Scale for Patients in Motion, Standing, and Sitting: Characterizing Nonspecific Low Back Pain in Elderly Patients

Figure 1

A new visual analogue scale (VAS, 0–10 cm) was developed for this study to provide a detailed evaluation of low back pain. In this new detailed VAS, low back pain is scored independently while the patient is engaged in three different postural situations: motion, standing, and sitting.
