Low Back Pain, Walking Pattern, and Spine Imaging Study
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age 18–65 years old
- You've had low back pain and sought treatment for it
- You have a lumbar spine MRI scan from the last 12 months that the study can access
- You're able and willing to sign a consent form
- You haven't had spine surgery before
- You don't have serious neurological problems, cancer, infection, or recent spine fractures

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks how well routine X-rays and MRIs can find a type of lower back bone variation and the exact disc causing nerve pain. If you have low back and leg pain with a nerve-related diagnosis and haven't had spine surgery, you may be able to join.
This study examines how well physical therapy works for low back pain by comparing MRI scans before and after treatment. Researchers want to understand which types of back problems respond best to physical therapy exercises and manual treatment.
This study follows adults with long-lasting low back pain to learn what predicts who improves after a specific type of back joint injection. It mainly helps doctors understand which factors relate to better or worse outcomes over time.
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 measures how your spine and back/neck move using motion testing and equipment. It may help researchers better understand differences between people with spine pain and people without.
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.
