Brief Summary

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

The primary aim of this study was to compare spinal proprioception in patients with Lumbal Spinal Stenosis (LSS) (with or without surgery) and healthy controls. A secondary aim was to investigate the effect of pain at target positions where repositioning error (RE) was assessed and TLF flexibility on spinal proprioception deficiency.This cross-sectional and healthy controlled study was conducted in patients with LSS. Participants will be grouped as: Healthy control (Group I), chronic low back pain due to LSS (Group II) and undergoing surgery due to LSS (Group III). Reposition error (RE), pain at target positions of RE and flexibility of the TLF were assesed with iphone tiltmeter app, VAS and goniometric platform, respectively. Target positions of reposition error were: 30º forward bending and 15º backward bending in sitting and standing.

Detailed Description

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

This cross-sectional and healthy controlled study was conducted in patients with LSS. Participants will be grouped as: Healthy control (Group I), chronic low back pain due to LSS (Group II) and undergoing surgery due to LSS (Group III). Reposition error (RE), pain at target positions of RE and flexibility of the TLF were assesed with iphone tiltmeter app, VAS and goniometric platform, respectively. Target positions of reposition error were: 30º forward bending and 15º backward bending in sitting and standing.

The general study inclusion criteria were as follows: age between 20 and 50 years and not having had lower extremity surgery.

In addition to the general inclusion criteria, the inclusion criteria for the control group were as follows: not having a chronic spinal disorders and not having low back pain in the last week. Group II consisted of patients diagnosed with LSS and confirmed by MRI findings.

In addition to the general inclusion criteria, the inclusion criteria for the LSS group were as follows: having low back pain for more than 3 months and having low back pain intensity of 4 or more assessed with VAS.

There was not any additional inclussion criteria for Group III. The exclusion criteria of current study are; having any previous inner ear inflammation or vestibular disorders, having diabetes and being pregnant.

Study Groups

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

Group I (Healthy control)

Group I consists of patient relatives and patients who applied to the outpatient clinic for another ailment.

Reposition error (RE), pain at target positions of RE and flexibility of the TLF were assesed with iphone tiltmeter app, VAS and goniometric platform, respectively.

Intervention Type OTHER

Target positions of reposition error were: 30º forward bending and 15º backward bending in sitting and standing.

Group II (chronic low back pain due to LSS )

Group II consisted of patients diagnosed with LSS and confirmed by MRI findings.

Reposition error (RE), pain at target positions of RE and flexibility of the TLF were assesed with iphone tiltmeter app, VAS and goniometric platform, respectively.

Intervention Type OTHER

Target positions of reposition error were: 30º forward bending and 15º backward bending in sitting and standing.

Group III (undergoing surgery due to LSS )

Participants who had surgery for LSS at least 3 months ago were included in Group III.

Reposition error (RE), pain at target positions of RE and flexibility of the TLF were assesed with iphone tiltmeter app, VAS and goniometric platform, respectively.

Intervention Type OTHER

Target positions of reposition error were: 30º forward bending and 15º backward bending in sitting and standing.
