Substitute for barbell squats

Since hurting my back 3 years ago, I find holding a weighted barbell for squats is uncomfortable. Will holding dumbells at my side (like in STS) be a good substitute? Or any suggestions? My back and I thanks you :)
 
I have the same issue. Squats are out for me too. But I did find that wall squats with the ball did not bother me. I do not like the way squats with DB feel, so I substitute with ball wall squats as well. Hope this helps!! Feel better soon.
