Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the effect of lumbar disc herniation on kinematics in the lumbopelvic region during daily living activities.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is one of the causes of low back pain and contributes to increasing the socio-economic problem. Depending on the reason for the dysfunction, various classifications describing the level of advancement are used. The literature on the subject commonly uses the division into protrusion and extrusion of the intervertebral disc, as approved by the American Society of Neuroradiology.

The lumbopelvic kinematics, including gait and daily living activities, can be affected by the LDH: protrusion or extrusion. This pathology may be different due to the direction of disc migration: centre, left, right or all mentioned. Therefore, we believe that from the different direction of the disc migration the different symptoms can be observed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

LDH

Group of symptomatic individuals with LDH confirmed in MRI.

G-Walk

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Every individual will be examined with a non-invasive "G-Walk" device which is a sensor mounted on a belt and fasten on individuals' lumbar spine region during two test activities: Timed up and go and 6-meter walk tests. Data collection will include kinematic parameters. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score will also be collected.

Control

Group of asymptomatic individuals with no LDH.

G-Walk

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Every individual will be examined with a non-invasive "G-Walk" device which is a sensor mounted on a belt and fasten on individuals' lumbar spine region during two test activities: Timed up and go and 6-meter walk tests. Data collection will include kinematic parameters. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score will also be collected.
