Screening Protocol for Standing-Induced Low Back Pain in Pain Developers

2026年11月11日 更新者:Ala BabajanTabar、University of Tehran

Validation of a Combined Screening Protocol for Predicting Prolonged Standing Induced Low Back Pain in Pain Developers

The goal of this observational study is to learn whether a short screening test can identify healthy young adults who develop low back pain during prolonged standing ("pain developers"). The study includes university students aged 20 to 35 years with no history of clinical low back pain.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • How accurately does a combined screening protocol (three simple clinical hip and movement tests plus a 15-minute muscle activity recording of the gluteus medius) identify people who develop low back pain during 2 hours of standing?
  • Can this short protocol be used instead of the standard 2-hour standing test?

Participants will attend two sessions on separate days:

  • Session 1: Participants will complete three clinical tests (self-reported difficulty of a side-lying leg-lifting task, hip rotation range of motion, and a single-leg squat), fill out a pain catastrophizing questionnaire, and stand for 15 minutes while performing a simple manual task, with surface electrodes recording hip muscle activity.
  • Session 2: Participants will stand for 2 hours while performing simple manual tasks and will rate their low back pain every 15 minutes.

Participants who report an increase of at least 10 mm on a 100 mm visual analog scale during the 2-hour standing session will be classified as pain developers. The screening results will be compared with this classification to calculate sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy.

healthy young adults

University students aged 20-35 years without a history of clinical low back pain, assessed with the combined screening protocol and the 2-hour prolonged standing test.

Three clinical tests (self-reported active hip abduction, total hip internal rotation range of motion, single-leg squat) and 15-minute surface EMG of the left gluteus medius during standing.

措施说明
大体时间
Diagnostic Accuracy (Sensitivity and Specificity) of the Combined Screening Protocol
大体时间:Index tests at Session 1 (Day 1) compared with the reference standard at Session 2 (within 2-28 days)

Sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy (with 95% confidence intervals) of the combined screening protocol (three clinical tests plus gluteus medius EMG gaps) for identifying pain developers, compared with the reference standard (an increase of at least 10 mm on a 100 mm visual analog scale from baseline at any 15-minute timepoint during 2 hours of standing).

Index tests at Session 1 (Day 1) compared with the reference standard at Session 2 (within 2-28 days)

大体时间
Pain Developer Status During a 2-Hour Prolonged Standing Test
大体时间:Baseline (minute 0) and every 15 minutes up to 120 minutes during the 2-hour prolonged standing test (Session 2, 2 to 28 days after Session 1)

Low back pain intensity is rated on a 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS; 0 = no pain, 100 = worst imaginable pain). Participants reporting an increase of ≥10 mm relative to baseline at any measurement point are classified as Pain Developers; all others are classified as Non-Pain Developers. This classification serves as the reference standard.

Baseline (minute 0) and every 15 minutes up to 120 minutes during the 2-hour prolonged standing test (Session 2, 2 to 28 days after Session 1)
Folkins Three-Test Clinical Cluster Scores
大体时间:Session 1 (Day 1)

Three clinical tests: (1) self-rated active hip abduction difficulty (0-5 per side, summed 0-10; positive if ≥4); (2) total bilateral passive hip internal rotation measured with a universal goniometer (degrees; positive if >81.6°); (3) non-dominant single-leg squat, trunk score from video analysis (0, 5, 10, 15; positive if >5).

Session 1 (Day 1)
Number of Gluteus Medius EMG Gaps
大体时间:During a 15-minute standing EMG recording at Session 1 (Day 1)

Number of gaps in glutes medius surface EMG activity during 15 minutes of standing,A gap is defined as a period in which normalized EMG activity falls below 0.5% of maximum voluntary contraction for more than 0.2 seconds. The total number of gaps is reported, compared between pain developers and non-pain developers

Correlation between Pain Catastrophizing Scale total score (range 0-52; higher scores indicate greater catastrophizing) and maximum VAS pain in an exploratory subgroup of participants reaching at least 20 mm VAS.
