The responsiveness and minimal important change of the Persian STarT Back Screening Tool in patients with non-specific low back pain
The SBST accurately detects clinical changes when considering all the patients together. The SBST is responsive in the medium- and high-risk subgroups but not in the low-risk subgroup. A reduction of at least 1.5 points in the SBST score is required for clinically meaningful changes.
