Abstract

The project focuses on describing non-specific lower back pain through the application of different diagnostic tests in the field of physiotherapy, addressing a common condition that affects a large portion of the population, reaching up to 90%. Given the complexity of diagnosis, especially in the case of non-spec if i c lower back pain, there is an emphasis on the need to accurately identify the type of pain and its specific characteristics to develop tailored and effective treatm en t plans. The research, conducted at the Patria Military Fort, was carried out with an analytical and cross-sectional methodological design, using a variety of tests such as Lasègue, Slump, quadrant, SLR, Adams, segmental instability tests, and the Van der Wurff test battery in a sample of 30 military participants. The results highlig ht e d a high prevalence of radicular origin lower back pain, emphasizing the import an c e of a comprehensive approach for a complete and accurate diagnosis, as well as the need for effective treatments to improve patients' quality of life.
