Recruiting
Conditions
Spinal Disease
Interventions
Other: Kinematic sensors
Registration Number
NCT06335095
Lead Sponsor
Universidade Nova de Lisboa
Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to analyse the biomechanics of a degenerative spinal disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* What are the biomechanical variables affected by the disease

* How they evolve with disease progression and treatment

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in gait parameter - step length (m) - at 3 months3 months

The change will be defined by a 10% increase in step length (meters) at 3 months from baseline assessment.

Change from baseline in gait parameter - step length (m) - at 12 months12 months

The change will be defined by a 10% increase in step length (meters) at 12 months from baseline assessment.

Change from baseline in gait parameter - speed (m/s) - at 3 months3 months

The change will be defined by a 10% increase in speed (meters/second) at 3 months from baseline assessment.

Change from baseline in gait parameter - step length (m) - at 6 months6 months

The change will be defined by a 10% increase in step length (meters) at 6 months from baseline assessment.

Change from baseline in gait parameter - speed (m/s) - at 6 months6 months

The change will be defined by a 10% increase in speed (meters/second) at 6 months from baseline assessment.

Change from baseline in gait parameter - speed (m/s) - at 12 months12 months

The change will be defined by a 10% increase in speed (meters/second) at 12 months from baseline assessment.

Change from baseline in gait parameter - step width (m) - at 3 months3 months

The change will be defined by a 10% decrease in step width (meters) at 3 months from baseline assessment.

Change from baseline in gait parameter - step width (m) - at 6 months6 months

The change will be defined by a 10% decrease in step width (meters) at 6 months from baseline assessment.

Change from baseline in gait parameter - step width (m) - at 12 months12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in Back Pain as measured by the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) at 6 months6 months

The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥2 point in NRPS (range: 0 - 10 points).

Change from baseline in disability as measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) at 6 months6 months

The change will be defined on the Minimal Clinically Important Difference in treatment response defined as a decrease of ≥27% in ODI (range: 0-50 and higher scores are indicative of more disability).

Change from baseline in disability as measured by the Core Outcome Measures Index (COMI) at 6 months6 months

In the core COMI-back, 1 question consists of 2 numerical rating scales to be answered from 0 to 10 and 5 questions to be answered by selecting 1 of 5 response options. The average of the 2 disability scores forms the disability dimension subscore. A total COMI score is determined by averaging the 5 dimension scores.

Change from baseline in Quality of Life as measured by the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D) at 3 months3 months
