# The Five-repetition Sit-to-stand Test for Lower Back Pain or Radiculopathy

**Official Title:** The Five-repetition Sit-to-stand Test as an Objective Measure of Functional Impairment in Patients With Lower Back Pain or Radiculopathy

**NCT ID:** [NCT03303300](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03303300)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Study Type:** OBSERVATIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 237
- **Lead Sponsor:** Marc Schröder
- **Conditions:** Degenerative Disc Disease, Degenerative Spondylolisthesis, Herniated Disc, Stenosis, Spinal, Nerve Root Compress;Lumbosac
- **Start Date:** 2017-10-01
- **Completion Date:** 2017-12-03
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2017-12-05

## Brief Summary

The five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) has been used in many medical disciplines, but has never been correlated with or validated in regard to degenerative spinal diseases. The investigators aim to assess the possibility of using the standardized 5R-STS as an objective measure of functional impairment and pain severity in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal diseases.

## Eligibility

- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** Yes

```
This study will include 100 Patients:

Inclusion Criteria:

* Degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine (Herniated disc, lumbar stenosis, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease)
* Symptoms of lower back pain, neurogenic claudication, or radiculopathy

Exclusion Criteria:

* Hip or Knee prosthetics
* Walking aides

This study will also include 25 healthy volunteers:

Inclusion Criteria:

\- No degenerative spinal or lower extremity complaints

Exclusion Criteria:

* Back pain, leg pain, other lower extremity-related complaints
* Knee or hip prosthetics
* Walking aides
```

## Primary Outcomes

- **5R-STS** _(time frame: 0 weeks)_ — The result of the standardized 5R-STS in seconds. If the patient is unable to complete the test, the results is noted as "not possible".

## Secondary Outcomes

- **VAS back pain** _(time frame: 0 weeks)_
- **VAS leg pain** _(time frame: 0 weeks)_
- **EQ-5D-3L** _(time frame: 0 weeks)_
- **Oswestry Disability Index** _(time frame: 0 weeks)_
- **Roland-Morris-Disability Questionnaire** _(time frame: 0 weeks)_
