OBJECTIVES: Individuals with @entity1643 ( @entity1643 ) present with alterations or limitations of spinal mobility. The identification of simple clinical methods for evaluating functional movement of the spine is necessary to allow quantification of the degree of @entity717 and permit monitoring of @entity1 improvement with rehabilitation. This study evaluated movement of the spine in 20 @entity1 with chronic nonspecific @entity1643 compared with 19 @entity158 -free @entity1 using a novel measurement device that permits the dynamic assessment of spinal movement in a rapid and subject-specific manner. METHODS: Two flexible sensor strips were fixed paravertebrally to the spine with each sensor strip measuring angles in 12 predetermined, adjacent, 25-mm-long segments. Maximum range of motion (ROM) and average angular velocity (AAV) of lumbar and pelvic movement were measured within identical angular and temporal frames during the descending and ascending phase of active lumbar flexion, extension, rotation, and @entity5251 following a standard choreography. @entity1 with @entity1643 completed a number of questionnaires including the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, @entity158 Catastrophizing Scale, and Spielberger State-Trait @entity148 Inventory. RESULTS: Across all movements, the individuals with @entity1643 displayed 10% to 15% less ROM (P<0.05) and 15% to 30% less AAV (P<0.05) at both the pelvis and lumbar regions compared with controls. ROM as well as AAV, in most cases, were negatively correlated (R=-0.49 to -0.75) with the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, @entity158 Catastrophizing Scale, and Spielberger State-Trait @entity148 Inventory in the @entity1643 group (all P<0.05) especially during the initial descending phase of movement. DISCUSSION: This study provide support for the utility of this device for quantifying @entity717 in individuals with fairly low levels of @entity1643 and general functional limitations. The results show that velocity measurements rather than ROM show the greatest differences in individuals with @entity1643 compared with asymptomatic @entity1 . @entity717 was correlated to the individuals with @entity1643 's degree of @entity148 , fear, and catastrophizing.
