In particular, back pain experience was the most common finding. The correlation between disability index lifestyle posture and lumbar pain and relevance r = 0.493 (p<0.01) of relevance to the lumbar disability index r=0.581 (p<0.01), lumbar pain and lumbar disability index and the relation r=0.638 (p<0.01) as it was found that this correlation. Data suggests that lumbar pain and lumbar relevance of the disability index higher was, which means the higher the lumbar disability index, the higher lumbar pain.
