NCT04334889 | NOT YET RECRUITING | Low Back Pain

Measurement of Spinal Kinematics During Various Movements
Sponsor:

Vaud High School of Health

Brief Summary:

Participants will perform movements while receiving different visual cues. Spinal kinematics will be measured during these movements and compared between asymptomatic and CLBP participants. Participants will come for a unique session.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
  • - sufficient French level to understand the instructions for the tests, the information sheet, the consent form.
  • For CLBP patients
    • - diagnosis of non-specific low back pain (pain from lower ribs to gluteal folds) for more than 3 months.
    • For asymptomatic participants
      • * no history of LBP requiring medical attention during the last two years
      • * no other concomitant pain or condition that could compromise the evaluation of lumbar kinematics.
      Exclusion Criteria
      • * pregnancy
      • * skin allergy to tape
      • * body mass index (BMI) above 32
      • For patients with CLBP only
        • * specific low back pain (such as the presence of infection, rheumatological or neurological diseases, spinal fractures, tumours)
        • * any known important spinal deformities
        • * previous back surgery that limits spinal mobility
        • * high level of pain at the time of experiment that prevents repeated movements (severity and irritability)
        • * other concomitant pain or condition that could compromise the evaluation of spinal kinematics.
