Article Synopsis
- Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are being studied for their effectiveness in measuring movement in individuals with low back pain, compared to traditional optoelectronic motion capture systems.
- The study involved 17 participants performing six movement assessments while wearing four IMUs and found good to excellent reliability in measuring primary plane movements, but lower reliability in other planes.
- The data showed that IMUs generally align with optoelectronic systems for primary movements, but highlighted issues in non-primary movements, indicating a need for improved calibration and algorithms for broader use.
Background Context: Psychological comorbidities are important prognostic factors for low back pain (LBP). To develop improved treatment paradigms, it is first necessary to characterize and determine current patterns of treatment in this population.
Purpose: Identify how comorbid depression or anxiety in patients with LBP is related to use of healthcare resources.
Postural control impairments have been reported in adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Balance relies on the integration of multisensory cues, a process that requires attention. The purpose of this study was to determine if the influence of attention demands on sensory integration abilities relevant for balance partially contributes to postural control impairments in ASD.
