Digital Health for Lumbar Degeneration

Digital Health for Aging: A Multimodal AI-Based Smart Assessment and Rehabilitation Training System for Lumbar Degeneration


Sponsor

National Taiwan University Hospital

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Aug 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study will integrate wireless wearable sensors, smartphone imaging, and multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) to address the rehabilitation needs of patients with lumbar degeneration. Patients will undergo comprehensive functional assessments, and individualized exercise instruction with real-time feedback will be provided through a smartphone application. The goals of this research are to: (1) develop a multimodal AI-based digital health system combining IMU sensors and smartphone cameras for real-time assessment and interactive rehabilitation training, (2) construct biomechanics- and gait-analysis models to support personalized rehabilitation for patients with lumbar degeneration, and (3) investigate the mechanisms and clinical efficacy of pelvic control exercise training combined with real-time smartphone feedback in improving function and quality of life for aging patients.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a digital health tool for monitoring and tracking lumbar spine (lower back) degeneration in older adults — even before any pain or major symptoms appear. The goal is to identify early signs of degeneration using movement and walking data collected by wearable sensors or digital devices. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 50 and 80 years old - You have not had significant back pain lasting more than a week (or bad enough to affect work) in the past year - Your lower back moves normally - You can walk independently for more than 10 meters **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have systemic joint diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis - You have a nervous system disorder such as a stroke, spinal cord injury, or Parkinson's disease - You have a vestibular (balance/inner ear) disorder - You have had previous back surgery Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERAI-Based Smart Assessment and Rehabilitation Training

Through the integration of wireless inertial sensors and smartphone imaging, the system can monitor pelvic and lumbar movements in real time, generate a digital twin model, and deliver instant feedback to guide patients in performing correct exercises.
