Back ground and Purpose: Low back Pain is a major cause of functional disability in India. It is because of trauma, degeneration or any pathology related to back. Low back pain is the most challenging job of physiotherapist to deal with it. The aim of the study was to study SLR angle, the angle at which the pain increases in severity or radiating starts, and functional disability. The second was to know severity of disability in routine functions of low back pain patients. Research Design: Co-relation method using Karl Pearson. Material and Methods: Personal interview of 30 patients with Low Back Pain was taken by using to know about the level of functional disabilities and Straight Leg Raise (SLR) angle was measured. Co-relation between both Roland and Morris questionnaire and Straight Leg Raise (SLR) Results: The co-relation between SLR angle and functional disability as measured by RM questionnaire is partial negative. The co-relation co-efficient is -0.75. Conclusion: SLR angle is indicative of the functional disabilities. The patient with more disability has less SLR angle
