All
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Group 1: Patients with a spinal fusion below C7, confirmed by an x-ray or a surgery report. Group 2: Patients with back pain below C7, confirmed by a VAS (pain questionaire) Group 3: motion analysis of healthy subjects in separate study already in fall and winter 2016 and January 2017
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The patient must be able to walk on a treadmill without any help and any danger of falling. The patient must be willing to undress his upper body and must not have any substantial changes that affect the surface of his back. Otherwise the patient will be excluded from the study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of Rotation in °, Lateralflexion and Extension/Flexion in mm for each vertebral body between C7 and L4 at different walking speeds, ideally at 2,3,4 and 5km/h to a control group of healthy subjects | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Different moving behaviour of the spinal segments in relation to the pain localisation and pain extend (that have been asked in a self constructed questionaire before the motion analysis) and the results of "Fragebogen Hannover Rücken" (questionaire of functional impairment due to back pain) | — |
