New Model Correctly Classifies Low Back Pain Patients

.

Daniel Sánchez-Zuriaga, MD, Ph.D., of the Universitat de Valencia in Spain, and colleagues developed a logistic regression model using the variables of kinematic analysis to distinguish between low back pain patients and controls, and to obtain objective parameters for assessing functional LBP. The study recruited 16 controls and 39 patients with low back pain who conducted a sit-stand task and lifted weights three to a standing position. The relative position of the lower limb and the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacroiliac, and the vertical force, were recorded. To verify the validity of the procedure for the measurement of functional disability, binary logistic regression analyses were computed and results compared to the results of the Oswestry Disability Index Scale.

The investigators found that the reliability of the parameters was good. Two variables were used in the selected regression model, and 97.3 percent of patients were accurately categorized. The results of this regression equation had high correlations with the Oswestry Disability Index Scale.

"It is possible to distinguish LBP patients from healthy subjects by means of the biomechanical analysis of everyday tasks. This kind of analysis can produce objective and reliable indexes about the patients' degree of functional impairment," the authors write.
