Results of calculating the effect size, sense of control (d=0.55) is ‘moderate’, the PCS (d=1.12) and the PASS-20 (d=1.64) were ‘large’.</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>This back school may be useful for physical function and psychological variables which much related to pain management and daily disabilities in patients with poor respond to standard orthopaedic treatment.</p>
