BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Low back pain is a public health problem affecting population regardless of social and economic class. Segmental stabilization is a kinesiotherapeutic technique being considered treatment option for this disorder. Primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a treatment schedule for low back pain based on segmental stability principles. The secondary objective was to propose and adaptation of Nottingham Health Profile, which is a tool to evaluate quality of life. METHODS: This is a pre-experimental study involving 25 chronic low back pain patients of both genders, mean age of 50.5 years. The study consisted of 16 sessions of a segmental stabilization exercises program, carried out twice a week during six months. Measurement tools were: visual analog scale, Roland-Morris questionnaire and two versions of Nottingham Health Profile, namely translated and modified. RESULTS: At treatment completion, all patients had significant improvement in variables controlled by the study. Modified Nottingham Health Profile version had strong and significant correlation with the translated version (r 0.88) and with functional incapacity level evaluated by Roland Morris questionnaire (r 0.85). CONCLUSION: Proposed treatment schedule was beneficial for patients involved in the study. Modified version of Nottingham Health Profile may be used to evaluate quality of life perception especially of chronic low back pain patients.
