• Conditions: Comparison of Healthy Subjects and Low Back Pain Patients; Reliability, Validity of Measurement to Assess Lumbar Spine Motion

• Registration Number: NCT03763994
• Lead Sponsor: Ruhr University of Bochum

Brief Summary

Main of the study is to assess the reliability of a new objective tool to measure lumbar spine motion. The data will be collected from healthy subjects and subjects with frequent or daily low back pain in the last three months.
