Summary

Sciatica is a disabling condition that affects many people. This condition has an enormous influence on the social functioning of patients. The clinical determination of the severity of back pain is mainly done with validated questionnaires, which express the subjective pattern of complaints in a score. These usually reflect the severity of the complaints, but there is still a lack of objective and quantitative tests.

In this study, the aim is to investigate whether there is a connection between the duration of the 5R-STS test and the outcome of low back operations after one year. In other words: What is the predictive value of this test on the result of surgery?

The validated five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) is a standardized test that has its origin in pneumology and is derived from the 1-minute sit-to-stand test. In this test, the patient stands up and sits down for 1 minute as often as possible from a chair without armrests, counting the number of movements. This not only measures how mobile the patient is, but can also say something about the condition of the heart and lungs. Recently, the 5R-STS has been described, in which the time is measured in which the patient has to stand up straight and sit down again five times from a chair.

5 repetition sit-to-stand test

The sit-to-stand test with five repetitive movements is used as standard in our clinical routine to determine the patient's mobility objectively. The first measurement is performed preoperatively during surgery (baseline). The follow-up measurement is performed six weeks after the operation and one year after the operation in the clinic. A stool with a fixed height is used for this purpose. The patient should cross his arms over the chest and then slowly stand up until the knees are full of space. Then the patient sits down again, of course without support of the arms. The duration of the five movements is recorded using a stopwatch. The complete movement starts after the "Go" command and ends when the patient is fully upright after the fifth movement. This duration is written down as the patient's score.
