NCT06276322

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the kinematics of all spine segments in 3 planes and compare them with asymptomatic controls using wearable technology while performing functional tasks that patients with chronic low back pain often describe as painful in their daily lives.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Evaluation of the kinematics of the all spine during walking

    Kinematic evaluations of functional activities will be performed using MVN Awinda (XSens Technologies B.V. Enschede, Netherlands) Inertial measurement unit sensors for walking. Angular data in the atlanto-occipital, C7-T1, T8-T9, T12-L1, L3-L4, and L5-S1 segments will be recorded in 3-dimensional. Participants will walk on a 10-meter walking path.

    two months

  • Evaluation of the kinematics of the all spine during Bending Forward and Lifting Objects

    Kinematic evaluations of functional activities will be performed using MVN Awinda (XSens Technologies B.V. Enschede, Netherlands) Inertial measurement unit sensors for Bending Forward and Lifting Objects. The box (5 kilograms ) will be centered 15 centimeter in front of the participants' toes. Spinal kinematics will be analyzed from bending forward to lift the box, to holding the box in front of the hips and standing straight.

    two months

  • Evaluation of the kinematics of the all spine during Standing from Sitting

    Kinematic evaluations of functional activities will be performed using MVN Awinda (XSens Technologies B.V. Enschede, Netherlands) Inertial measurement unit sensors for Standing from Sitting. Participants will stand up with their arms crossed over their chest at their preferred pace.

    two months

  • Evaluation of the kinematics of the all spine during Climbing Step

    Kinematic evaluations of functional activities will be performed using MVN Awinda (XSens Technologies B.V. Enschede, Netherlands) Inertial measurement unit sensors for Climbing Step. Each participant will be asked to step onto a single 24 centimeter tall rectangular step placed \~13 centimeter from the big toe at a self-selected pace

    two months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Spine Normal Joint Movement evaluation

    two months

  • Pain intensity: Visual Analog Scale

    two months

  • Oswestry Disability Index

    two months

  • Fear of movement: Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale

    two months

Interventions

The low back pain group will be evaluated the kinematics of all spine segments in 3 planes while performing the tasks that patients with chronic low back pain often describe as painful in their daily lives such as walking, stepping up, standing up, bending and lifting. Using Inertial Measurement Sensors that provide valid and reliable will evaluate the kinematics of all spine

Low Back Pain Group

Low back pain kinematics compare them with asymptomatic kontrols
