Comparison of Electronic Calipers to Conventional Calipers and X-ray Measurement of Spinal Tilt

NCT02920255 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: Caliper 1001
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The objective is to compare the accuracy and reproducibility of measurements taken with electronic calipers and conventional calipers. Using both calipers, reproducibility will be determined by comparing results from a number of practitioners and accuracy will be determined by comparing results with those obtained from X-rays.

Conditions

Lower Back Pain
