Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to collect lumbar rotations, velocity, and accelerations, along with pain scores using a novel dynamic VAS device, from twenty (20) Bertolotti Syndrome patients and twenty (20) non-Bertolotti low back pain patients during range-of-motion tasks. The assessments will be analyzed to determine the differences in kinematics and continuous pain scores between Bertolotti patients and non-Bertolotti low back pain patients.
