Introduction: Low back pain is a public health problem, due to different ergonomic factors, postural, emotional, etc. which could lead to a functional limitation affecting the quality of life of the individual. Objective: To determine the relationship between low back pain and physical disability in patients with low back pain who attended the physical therapy service of the Hospital de Rehabilitación del Callao, Lima-Peru. Material and Methods: It is a descriptive study of transversal and observational type. Sample size was 68 patients with a diagnosis of low back pain of both sexes and an age between 18 and over. The instrument used to measure the degree of disability was the Roland-Morris questionnaire. Results: It was observed that there is a relationship between the chronicity of low back pain, the housewife occupation (p = 0.002) and the female sex (p = 0.005) are related to the degree of disability. Likewise, most of the patients presented chronic low back pain and presented physical disability of moderate to severe 82.35%. Thus, the occupancy variable is presumed that housewives suffer a higher level of disability between moderate 43.8% and severe 53.1%. Conclusions: The findings propose the need to develop preventive care programs, thus improving the quality of life and the appearance of some type of physical disability, together with the promotion of postural hygiene.
