Study Details

Study Description

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.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Visual cues

Study Type:
Observational
Anticipated Enrollment :
40 participants
Observational Model:
Case-Control
Time Perspective:
Cross-Sectional
Official Title:
Differences in Spinal Kinematics During Various Activities Between Asymptomatic Subjects and Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain
Anticipated Study Start Date :
Oct 1, 2022
Anticipated Primary Completion Date :

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Chronic low back pain (CLBP)

All CLBP patients should present with non-specific low back pain (pain from lower ribs to gluteal folds) for more than 3 months.

Other: Visual cues
Participants will be asked to move following cues displayed on a screen in front of them.
Asymptomatic controls

Asymptomatic participants should have had no history of LBP requiring medical attention during the last two years and no other concomitant pain or condition that could compromise the evaluation of lumbar kinematics.

Other: Visual cues
Participants will be asked to move following cues displayed on a screen in front of them.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Spinal kinematics [Day 1]

    Spinal kinematics will be measured at the lumbar and thoracic spine in degrees

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years and Older
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Yes
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.
