The research question

How are trunk movement and muscle activation altered by chronic low back pain, and how do they change with rehabilitation?

A functional and biomechanical chronic low-back-pain pathway focused on movement, muscle activation, compensation and rehabilitation.

ParticipantsPeople with chronic low back pain under rehabilitation or medical care.
Minimum sampleIndividual clinical assessment: N = 1. Research cohorts: sample size defined by the study design.
DurationAssessment plus repeated rehabilitation sessions.

Technology configuration

Measurement follows the task

The technology path shown here is the approved structure for this service. The exact protocol is configured around the research question, environment and participant flow.

01 · CoreEMG + IMU

Trunk movement, muscle activation and compensation.

02 · OptionalVR

Graded movement, exercise and functional training.

Typical protocol · Health

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define pain-related functional limitations and safe tasks.

02

Measure trunk movement, sit-to-stand, reaching, lifting or gait as appropriate.

03

Record EMG activation and IMU kinematics.

04

Configure graded rehabilitation.

05

Repeat measures to track functional recovery.

What the client can change with the evidence

The study is designed to translate observed behavior into concrete operational, people, design or risk-management decisions.

01Target movement rehabilitation
02Reduce compensatory strategies
03Track functional recovery
04Guide progression of activity
Scientific configuration

The method follows the question

Technology is selected because it is scientifically appropriate for the research objective, not because a device must be used. Santiago configures the study scope, stimuli, participant flow and measurement path before execution.
