Translation, Cultural Adaptation, and Mixed-Methods User Feedback of the SelfBack App to the Arabic Language for Patients With Low Back Pain: Pilot Mixed-Methods Study

The Arabic SelfBack app has been successfully developed, demonstrating high user satisfaction, ease of use, and interface efficiency within the target cultural context. The identified criticisms provide actionable insights for future updates. These results suggest that the app is ready for clinical research with Arabic-speaking participants, potentially improving LBP management in Saudi Arabia. Further research will be essential to confirm these initial findings and establish the app's long-term effectiveness.

Abstract

The Arabic SelfBack app has been successfully developed, demonstrating high user satisfaction, ease of use, and interface efficiency within the target cultural context. The identified criticisms provide actionable insights for future updates. These results suggest that the app is ready for clinical research with Arabic-speaking participants, potentially improving LBP management in Saudi Arabia. Further research will be essential to confirm these initial findings and establish the app's long-term effectiveness.
