How Much Can the Thoracic and Lumbar Skin Slide?

Terminated
Conditions
Movement of Thoracic and Lumbar Skin
Interventions
Other: measure of skin movement on surface of the back
Other: Measurement of skin movement on surface of back
Registration Number
NCT02105363
Lead Sponsor
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
Brief Summary

The investigators want to determine how much the skin on the back can move left to right of the midline and also up and down, in subjects presenting for procedure or in healthy volunteers. The investigators will do measurements on the back using samples of individuals in all age groups.

It is hypothesized that an explanation to late epidural failure could be related to excess back motion in individual subjects.
