Comparison of Technology-assisted and Face-to-face Assessment in Patients With Low Back Pain
- Conditions
- Low Back Pain
- Interventions
- Other: Tele-evaluation
- Registration Number
- NCT06405802
- Lead Sponsor
- Izmir Katip Celebi University
- Brief Summary
Although the concepts of telemedicine and tele-rehabilitation have been frequently emphasized in recent years, the evaluation part remains inadequate. There is no study investigating remote technology-based balance, mobility and strength assessments in patients with low back pain. Therefore, the aim of the study is; It is the examination of face-to-face and technology-based remote balance, mobility and strength assessment in patients with low back pain.

Group Intervention Description Tele-evulation Tele-evaluation Face-to-face tests will be recorded by video and re-evaluation will be made over the video by another person who has not performed the tests. During technology-based remote evaluations, the evaluator will monitor the tests simultaneously via video. During technology-based remote evaluations, video recording will be made and a re-evaluation will be made over the video by another person who has not performed the tests. Face-to face evulation Tele-evaluation Face-to-face applications were carried out with individuals with low back pain who came to Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital and volunteered to participate in the study.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Oswestry disability index An evaluation was made once at the beginning of the research. The Oswestry Disability Questionnaire is a self-assessment tool that allows patients to assess the various constraints encountered during their daily activities. Utilizing a comprehensive scoring system ranging from 0 to 100, higher scores on the questionnaire indicate a heightened level of disability.
Timed-up and go test An evaluation was made once at the beginning of the research. Simmonds et al. (1998) researched to ascertain the reliability of this test in swiftly and practically demonstrating functional status among patients with low back pain. The assessment involves the patient transitioning from seated to standing, traversing a 3-meter-long path, executing a turn, and returning to a seated posture. The duration of this performance is meticulously recorded
Thirty Second Chair Stand Test An evaluation was made once at the beginning of the research. The Thirty Second Chair Stand Test is a validated and reliable assessment modality to gauge lower extremity strength (7). During the administration of this test, participants were tasked with repeatedly rising from and sitting back down on a chair within a 30-second timeframe, with the total number of repetitions recorded. A chair with a standardized sitting height of 43 cm was utilized for the assessments, and for safety precautions, it was positioned against a wall.
Single Leg Stance Test An evaluation was made once at the beginning of the research. This examination, focused on assessing balance and static standing capacity, also offers insights into individuals' susceptibility to falls. During the evaluation process, participants were instructed to elevate their foot on their unaffected side and sustain this position for as long as possible. The termination of the test was determined by either contact of the free leg with the ground or a notable increase in arm oscillations
