简要总结
Our aim is to assess usability and compliance of a wireless pedometer for monitoring step count after a lumbar epidural steroid injection for the treatment of radicular pain in low back pain patients. Our main hypothesis is to demonstrate pedometer measured step count can be used to measure efficacy of pain interventions.
