Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a common injury in golf. There are several outcomes used to quantify LBP-related disability, such as core endurance tests and questionnaires. The primary purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes between college golfers with and without LBP. A secondary purpose was to determine relationships between these measures. We found no difference between groups for Biering-Sørensen endurance (p = .558). Episodes of LBP were significantly related to the Oswestry Disability Index (ρ = .491) and Golf-specific LBP questionnaire (ρ = −.576). Oswestry Disability Index and Golf-specific LBP questionnaire also demonstrated a moderate relationship (ρ = −.604).
