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.
