Abstract: Objective Oswestry Disability Index is the most commonly used score for assessing spinal disorders disabilities. However, no validated Lebanese version of the index was available till the time of initiation of our study. Our aim is to validate and adapt the Saudi Arabia version of the Oswestry Disability Index among the Lebanese population.
