Study: NCT06557837

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Questionnaires and pain assessment
Description: Participants complete two questionnaires: the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the EQ-5D-5L. They also rate their low back pain using the Visual Analogue Score (VAS) scale and respond to two additional questions about their posture and gait.

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Standing sagittal whole spine X-ray
Description: Participants undergo standard preoperative X-ray imaging of the entire spine to capture the upright posture. This imaging is conducted before and after 6-minute of continuous walking to compare changes in spino-pelvic and sagittal balance parameters.

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Dynamic test
Description: With the dynamic test, we analyze body movements of participants during gait using 49 reflective markers placed on their bodies according to the Qualisys PAF package: Instituti Ortopedici Rizzoli (IOR) and 10 EMG electrodes on specific leg and back muscles. Participants walk for 6 minutes between two cones set 7 meters apart, while a 12-camera Qualisys Motion Capture System tracks marker movements for comprehensive kinematic analysis. Data are recorded at five key moments: standing before and after the test, and during three phases of gait (at the beginning, middle, and end). Participants are barefoot and dressed in underwear for accurate measurement. Static recordings before and after walking involve stepping on a tensiometric force plate to measure the center of gravity. Before the test, participants perform stretching exercises to ensure consistent preparation.

Intervention type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
Intervention: Muscle strength and body composition measurement
Description: Participants have their body composition analyzed and the maximum isometric strength of their paraspinal and abdominal muscles measured using the Dr. Wolff BackCheck device.
