5R-STS: The Five-repetition Sit-to-stand Test for Lower Back Pain or Radiculopathy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) has been used in many medical disciplines, but has never been correlated with or validated in regard to degenerative spinal diseases. The investigators aim to assess the possibility of using the standardized 5R-STS as an objective measure of functional impairment and pain severity in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal diseases.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 5R-STS [0 weeks]
The result of the standardized 5R-STS in seconds. If the patient is unable to complete the test, the results is noted as "not possible".
Secondary Outcome Measures
- VAS back pain [0 weeks]
Validated questionnaire (VAS BP) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
- VAS leg pain [0 weeks]
Validated questionnaire (VAS LP) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
- EQ-5D-3L [0 weeks]
Validated questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
- Oswestry Disability Index [0 weeks]
Validated questionnaire (ODI) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
- Roland-Morris-Disability Questionnaire [0 weeks]
Validated questionnaire (RMDBQ) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
