Abstract

An instrument known as the Mechanical and Inflammatory Low Back Pain (MAIL) Scale was drafted using the results of a previous expert opinion study. A pilot survey was conducted to test the feasibility of a larger study designed to determine the MAIL Scale s ability to distinguish two potential subgroups of low back pain: inflammatory and mechanical.
