Implementation of Pedometer for Monitoring Step Count Pre and Post Lumbar ESI for Radicular Pain

October 2, 2019 updated by: Hospital for Special Surgery, New York

Implementation of Wireless Pedometer for Monitoring Step Count Before and After Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection for Radicular Pain.

Our aim is to assess usability and compliance of a wireless pedometer for monitoring step count after a lumbar epidural steroid injection for the treatment of radicular pain in low back pain patients. Our main hypothesis is to demonstrate pedometer measured step count can be used to measure efficacy of pain interventions.
