Can a video call replace a Doctor's visit for back pain tests?
NCT ID NCT07256873
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether physical tests for core strength and function in people with chronic low back pain can be done just as accurately over video as in person. Thirty-six adults completed tests like planks and chair stands both face-to-face and via a secure video call. The goal is to see if tele-assessment is a reliable option for monitoring back pain without needing to travel to a clinic.
