Abstract Background Low back pain (LBP) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. While its main cause is mostly unknown, more than 80% of people experience this disorder during their lifetime .Some clinical evidence suggests that people with chronic LBP have various lower extremity movement disorders. This study aims to systematically review the literature on comparing the kinematics of the lumbopelvic region and lower limb joints in people with non-specific low back pain (NS-LBP) compared to healthy individuals. Methods/design: We will search main electronic databases (Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Pedro, ProQuest and Google Scholar) and two key journals (Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, Clinical Biomechanics). Also, the reference list of the previous systematic reviews would be hand-searched. Studies that have examined the kinematic differences in lumbopelvic or lower limbs between NS-LBP and healthy individuals will be included. We will examine the methodological quality and statistical reporting of each eligible trial using the Newcastle – Ottawa Scale (NOS). Discussion To our knowledge, this study will be the first systematic review to examine the kinematic differences of the lower limb joints and pelvic complex between healthy people and NS-LBP. Since the kinematic assessment of the lower extremities and pelvic joints during daily activities may help understand underlying factors causing LBP, it is important to evaluate the kinematic changes in these regions, during repetitive daily functions in these patients.

BACKGROUND Low back pain (LBP) is a very common and disabling condition experienced by individuals during their lifetime. However, the causes of low back pain may vary and include musculoskeletal impairments, biomechanical abnormalities, gait deviations, primary medical causes, and deleterious or excessive activity.1 The different levels at which amputation is done in the lower limb are hip disarticulation, transfemoral amputation (above knee), knee disarticulation, transtibial amputation (below knee), ankle disarticulation and transmetatarsal amputation. Lower limb amputation (LLA) is known to cause LBP and may result in functional disability in lower limb amputees. Different parameters such as level of amputation, use of prosthesis etc. affect low back pain in amputees. The purpose of this study was to find out the prevalence of low back pain and its correlation with functional disability in patients with lower limb amputation. METHODS This is a community based observational study. 41 participants were included in the study. Data was collected using a questionnaire including the demographic information of each participant, pain assessment and revised Oswestry low back pain disability (RODQ) questionnaire to assess functional disability. RESULTS The study revealed that the prevalence of the reported back pain in the studied sample was 60.9 %. In 60 % of the patients, the Oswestry disability index depicted moderate disability. CONCLUSIONS The study concludes that low back pain is a significant problem in lower limb amputees. Several factors such as level of amputation, age, time since amputation put the lower limb amputees at a risk of developing back pain. Back pain intensity is important to assess the back pain related functional disability. KEY WORDS Amputation, Low Back Pain, Disability, Prosthesis
