Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Low Back Pain

• 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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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
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.
