Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether combined assessment of lumbopelvic control during sagittal and frontal plane motion (using two common clinical observational assessments) discriminates between people with and without LBP than single plane assessment alone. It was hypothesized that the two tests used in combination (multiplanar) would perform better than each test used independently (single planar) in accurately discriminating patient cases from healthy controls.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Performance on Active Hip Abduction Test	Examiner scores movement pattern (ability to retain lumbopelvic neutral) during performance of active hip abduction in sidelying using an ordinal scale (0-3) with 0-1 considered a negative test and 2-3 considered a positive test.	Assessed on data collection day	No
Primary	Performance on Active Straight Leg Raise Test	Participant self-rates degree of difficulty (0-5) to perform active straight leg raise in supine with any non-zero score considered a positive test result.	Assessed on data collection day	No
