Digital health study for lumbar spine wear and tear
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study uses digital tools to measure how lumbar degeneration affects walking. It aims to find early signs of spine problems in people without current back pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You have not had low back pain lasting more than a week or that stopped you from working in the past year.
- Your lower back moves normally.
- You can walk on your own for at least 10 meters (about 33 feet).
- You have no major joint or nervous system diseases that affect walking.

This trial studies walking patterns and back muscle activity in older adults undergoing spine surgery for conditions like scoliosis, spinal stenosis, or herniated discs. It aims to understand how these conditions affect movement and recovery.
This study looks at how spine conditions affect the way people walk. Researchers will analyze your walking patterns to better understand spine disease and help guide future treatments.
This trial tests a wearable flexible sensor to measure how your spine moves. It may help people with various spine conditions understand their motion patterns better.
This trial uses wearable sensors to measure how smoothly your lower back moves before and after rehabilitation. It aims to see if rehabilitation improves movement fluidity in people with chronic low back pain.
This trial is testing a simple physical test (the Dubousset test) to see if it can help measure how well people with lumbar spinal stenosis can move and function. If you have chronic lower back pain from this condition, you may be able to join to help doctors better understand your abilities.
This study examines how a specific walking pattern (called Trendelenburg sign—a hip drop when you walk) relates to findings on lumbar spine MRI scans in people with low back pain. Researchers want to understand if this walking pattern can help predict what they might see on imaging.
