Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Musculoskeletal Disorders Summary: Background: All over the world; many people suffer from low back pain which is a common, painful musculoskeletal condition and is considered one of the problems that affect health and economic life through absenteeism from work and related disability. Low back pain patients may suffer from balance disturbance which affect their daily life. Recent technological developments in communication field and electronics have allowed new methods for assessment of balance by using tri-axial accelerometers built in the smartphones. This technology represented a good choice for evaluating variability of balance and postural control and providing affordable and portable method of measurement. Purpose: to investigate the validity and reliability of balance Y-MED smart phone application in comparison to the HUMAC balance board in mechanical chronic low back pain MCLBP patients. Methods: Fifty four patients (12 males and 42 females) with MCLBP for more than 3 months, volunteered to participate in the current study with an age range of 25 -60 years and BMI range of 18-34 Kg/ m2. Validity was assessed for balance Y-MED smartphone application compared with HUMAC balance board, test retest reliability for balance Y-MED smartphone application was obtained by the same examiner for three times. Results: For concurrent validity, the correlations between balance measurement by Y-MED smart phone application and HUMAC balance board were not significant in both eyes open (r = -0.12, p = 0.38) and eyes closed (r = 0.26, p = 0.054). Smart phone application showed poor test retest reliability measurement of balance with eye open; (ICC was 0.279 with 95% CI from 0.117 to 0.554 ;) And poor test retest reliability in measurement of balance with eye closed; (ICC was -0.159 with 95% CI from 0.814 to 0.287). Conclusion: results indicated that Balance Y-MED smartphone application is not a valid for static balance assessment and has poor reliability alternative to Humac balance board System in measuring balance in MCLBP patients
