Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults with chronic low back pain. Participants will take part in a rehabilitation program and their movements will be monitored to see if there is an improvement in movement quality.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am between 18 and 65 years old
I have a BMI between 18 and 30
I have had chronic low back pain for more than three months
I am receiving rehabilitation care at Montpellier University Hospital
You may not be able to join if
I have had sciatica in the last three months
I have low back pain due to a traumatic, tumoral, or infectious cause
I have a history of spinal, pelvic, or hip fractures
I have inflammatory rheumatism
I have had lumbar arthrodesis
I have severe scoliosis

Low back pain, defined as pain located between the thoracolumbar junction and the lower gluteal fold, becomes chronic in 8% of patients. As the leading cause of disability worldwide, it has major individual and medico-economic consequences.

Low back pain, defined as pain located between the thoracolumbar junction and the lower gluteal fold, becomes chronic in 8% of patients. As the leading cause of disability worldwide, it has major individual and medico-economic consequences.
Three-dimensional biomechanical analysis allows exploration of movement alterations related to low back pain. Although several parameters have already been studied (maximum joint range of motion (ROM), lumbopelvic rhythm, movement variability, gait), no consistent kinematic profile has emerged. Movement fluidity, assessed by the presence of jerks (brief movement disturbances), remains under-described despite its relevance in evaluating movement quality.
Invistigators hypothesize that lumbar spine movement fluidity during flexion improves after a rehabilitation program and correlates with clinical response.
This project stands out by exploring a rarely studied parameter (movement fluidity) and integrating it as a potential indicator for rehabilitation monitoring.
