简要总结
The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of lower back injections on select biomechanical outcomes, walking patterns, lower back flexibility and balance.
详细描述
The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of lumbar injections on select biomechanics parameters; walking pattern, lumbar flexibility and balance. The surveys will help assess the patient's sense of functional ability and feeling of wellness compared with low back pain scores. The long terms goals of this project will be to elucidate the mechanism of action of injections and to improve identification of patients that are likely to benefit from injection therapy

结局指标
主要结局
Determine the immediate biomechanical effect in patients that receive a lumbar epidural injection
时间窗: Immediately following injection
We hypothesize that patients will demonstrate increased gait velocity, increased step length, decreased asymmetry and increased lumbar ROM immediately after injection compared to pre-injection
次要结局
- Determine the short-term biomechanical effect in patients that receive a lumbar epidural injection(Two weeks following injection)
- Determine the relationship between biomechanical status before injection and short-term pain reduction(Two weeks following injection)
