The Five-repetition Sit-to-stand Test for Lower Back Pain or Radiculopathy

NCT03303300 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 5RSTS
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 237
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) has been used in many medical disciplines, but has never been correlated with or validated in regard to degenerative spinal diseases. The investigators aim to assess the possibility of using the standardized 5R-STS as an objective measure of functional impairment and pain severity in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal diseases.

Conditions

Degenerative Disc Disease; Degenerative Spondylolisthesis; Herniated Disc; Stenosis, Spinal; Nerve Root Compress;Lumbosac

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 5R-STS

  The result of the standardized 5R-STS in seconds. If the patient is unable to complete the test, the results is noted as "not possible".

  0 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• VAS back pain

  0 weeks

• VAS leg pain

  0 weeks

• EQ-5D-3L

  0 weeks

• Oswestry Disability Index

  0 weeks

• Roland-Morris-Disability Questionnaire

  0 weeks

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

100 patients with degenerative lumbar spinal diseases that are seen in outpatient consultations will be recruited. All tests and questionnaires are part of the normal clinical assessment of the study center; The patients are thus not required to make any extra efforts. 25 healthy volunteers (the authors and volunteers from the department) will be included to get baseline data for the 5R-STS in healthy people

You may qualify if:

• Degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine (Herniated disc, lumbar stenosis, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease)
• Symptoms of lower back pain, neurogenic claudication, or radiculopathy

You may not qualify if:

• Hip or Knee prosthetics
• Walking aides
• This study will also include 25 healthy volunteers:
• \- No degenerative spinal or lower extremity complaints
• Back pain, leg pain, other lower extremity-related complaints
• Knee or hip prosthetics
• Walking aides
