An interventional study of SFEX+H and SFEX in Low Back Pain, sponsored by University of Delaware. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 60 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-10-09.
Sponsored by University of Delaware · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Low back pain (LBP) is extremely common in older adults and is associated with a host of negative consequences, including decreased physical function and increased healthcare utilization. Among older adults with LBP, hip impairments indicative of hip joint disease are more prevalent and associated with greater disability than among older adults without LBP. This study will investigate a novel intervention designed to improve LBP-related disability by combining a typical spine-focused exercise program with a hip-focused intervention.
