Clinical Trial Summary

The first propose of the study is to understand the contraction of deep and superficial multifidus in patients with non-specific low back pain and the elderly. The second purpose of the study is to understand the relationship between the multifidus and the functional performance in patients with non-specific low back pain and the elderly. The hypothesis is that the patients with non-specific low back pain and the elderly have less ability to contract the deep multifidus then asymptomatic adults and younger adults. Besides, the multifidus is correlated to the functional performance.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change of superficial multifidus	change of superficial multifidus during contraction by using ultrasound image	10 minutes
Primary	Change of deep multifidus	change of deep multifidus during contraction by using ultrasound image	10 minutes
Primary	Disability index	use Oswestry Disability Index	5 minutes
Primary	Timed up and go test	Examiner will record the seconds the subjects spend in the test including standing up, walking, turn around and sit down.	3 minutes
Primary	Sit to stand test	Subjects will repeat 5 times sit to stand and the seconds subjects spend will be recorded.	3 minutes
Primary	Countermovement jump test	The subjects start from an upright standing position, makes a preliminary downward movement by flexing at the knees and hips, then immediately extends the knees and hips again to jump vertically up off the ground. The distance which the subjects jump for will be recorded.	3 minutes
Primary	Sahrmann five-level core stability test	Examiner will use stabilizer pressure biofeedback unit to detect whether there is lumbar motion during different levels of lower extremities movement.	5 minutes
Primary	Rotatory stability test	Rotatory stability test is one of the test from functional movement screen. Subjects will start in quadruped position and move the extremities to maintain the spine in neutral position.	3 minutes
