First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study looks at how well wearable motion monitors can track recovery and predict return to duty in military members with low back or neck pain. Researchers will compare motion data and health history from 400 participants with and without spine pain. Participants wear a motion monitor for 40-70 minutes and complete follow-up surveys at 3, 6, and 12 months. The goal is to develop digital tools that help predict work status and reinjury risk.
