What is the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Scale?

To standardize the variation between individual perceptions, participant pain was measured with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index, in addition to the subjective responses illustrated in Figures 1 – 4. The Oswestry Index is used to assess disability in a person’s life due to the severity of their back pain. Our beta users were asked to fill out this survey at the start and at the end of their 12-week trial. 19 users completed both surveys, revealing an average reduction in pain of 36.45% with 73.68% of participants having a measurable improvement in their pain level.
