Conditions
Degenerative Lumbar Spine Diseases

Other: Core muscle training
Registration Number
NCT05425680
Lead Sponsor
National Taiwan University Hospital
Brief Summary

This study will combine virtual reality (VR) technology with machine learning to focus on functional movement. Patients' symptoms will be evaluated, and exercise instruction with real-time feedback will be provided. The goals of this research are to: (1) develop a waist digital sensor for real-time monitoring as an evaluation tool, (2) apply a real-time monitoring system in conjunction with virtual reality for telerehabilitation, and (3) develop the standard model.

Detailed Description

The remote assessment and training in this study can assist patients obtaining physical therapy care at home. It is suitable for patients who avoid going to the hospital due to the epidemic, and solve the problem of long-term treatment. The outcomes will provide DLSD patients tele-rehabilitation platform and system, help medical personnel to treat patients more effectively in the future, and reduce the burden of medical costs on close ones.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Functional assessment: Duration6 months

Functional assessment is a process that allows for the identification of disability. The data from the functional assessment is used to calculate calculate the duration it took to complete the test (unit: s).

Muscle activities6 months

Electromyography is a technique for evaluating and recording muscle activity. The data from electromyography is used to calculate a normalized value (unit: ratio).

Functional assessment: Walking speed6 months

Functional assessment is a process that allows for the identification of disability. The data from the functional assessment is used to calculate walking speed (unit: m/s).

Functional assessment: Walking distance6 months

Functional assessment is a process that allows for the identification of disability. The data from the functional assessment is used to calculate walking distance (unit: m).

Kinetic variables6 months

A motion capture system is used to measure the joint kinetics. The data is used to calculate joint moments (unit: Nm)

Postural balance6 months

he postural balance measurements are performed by using a inertial sensor. The data from the inertial sensor is used to calculate the 95% confidence ellipse area (unit: cm\^2)

Kinematic variables: Center of mass6 months

A motion capture system is used to measure the displacement of the center of mass. The data is used to calculate the displacement of the center of mass (unit: cm).

Kinematic variables: Joint angles6 months

A motion capture system is used to measure the joint kinematics. The data is used to calculate joint angles (unit: degree).
