Measurement of Spinal Kinematics During Various Movements
Not yet recruiting
- Conditions
- Low Back Pain
- Registration Number
- NCT04334889
- Lead Sponsor
- Haute Ecole de Santé Vaud
- Brief Summary
Participants will perform movements while receiving different visual cues. Spinal kinematics will be measured during these movements and compared between asymptomatic and CLBP participants. Participants will come for a unique session.

- 40
Inclusion Criteria
- sufficient French level to understand the instructions for the tests, the information sheet, the consent form.
For CLBP patients:
- diagnosis of non-specific low back pain (pain from lower ribs to gluteal folds) for more than 3 months.
For asymptomatic participants:
- no history of LBP requiring medical attention during the last two years
- no other concomitant pain or condition that could compromise the evaluation of lumbar kinematics.
Exclusion Criteria
- pregnancy
- skin allergy to tape
- body mass index (BMI) above 32
For patients with CLBP only:
- specific low back pain (such as the presence of infection, rheumatological or neurological diseases, spinal fractures, tumours)
- any known important spinal deformities
- previous back surgery that limits spinal mobility
- high level of pain at the time of experiment that prevents repeated movements (severity and irritability)
- other concomitant pain or condition that could compromise the evaluation of spinal kinematics.
