Inclusion Criteria

Group 1: Patients with a spinal fusion below C7, confirmed by an x-ray or a surgery report.
Group 2: Patients with back pain below C7, confirmed by a VAS (pain questionaire)
Group 3: motion analysis of healthy subjects in separate study already in fall and winter 2016 and January 2017

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Comparison of Rotation in °, Lateralflexion and Extension/Flexion in mm for each vertebral body between C7 and L4 at different walking speeds, ideally at 2,3,4 and 5km/h to a control group of healthy subjects <br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Different moving behaviour of the spinal segments in relation to the pain localisation and pain extend (that have been asked in a self constructed questionaire before the motion analysis) and the results of Fragebogen Hannover Rücken (questionaire of functional impairment due to back pain)
