No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Purpose Physical activity reduces the risk of several diseases of the body and the mind1, 2 and can help the elderly maintain physical abilities and self-efficacy in daily life1. The overall purpose of the project is to provide clinicians with a tool to objectively assess physical activity in daily life and thus provide an informed basis for individualized care of elderly patients with spine disease. We would like to introduce this tool to a broad population of elderly patients with low back pain to give an overview of the range and variability in physical activity. We will also look into a method for accurate step count in spine disorders where patients have severe walking impairment due to affected lumbar nerve roots.
