Brief summary

The five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) has been used in many medical disciplines, but has never been correlated with or validated in regard to degenerative spinal diseases. The investigators aim to assess the possibility of using the standardized 5R-STS as an objective measure of functional impairment and pain severity in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal diseases.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
5R-STS0 weeksThe result of the standardized 5R-STS in seconds. If the patient is unable to complete the test, the results is noted as not possible.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
VAS back pain0 weeksValidated questionnaire (VAS BP) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
VAS leg pain0 weeksValidated questionnaire (VAS LP) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
EQ-5D-3L0 weeksValidated questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
Oswestry Disability Index0 weeksValidated questionnaire (ODI) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
Roland-Morris-Disability Questionnaire0 weeksValidated questionnaire (RMDBQ) will be used to correlate the 5R-STS results with validated measures of functional impairment and pain severity.
