BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive approaches to the spine via anterior and posterior approaches have been increasing in popularity, culminating in the development of robot-assisted spinal fusions. The da Vinci surgical robot has been used for anterior l...
BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) is a major global disability contributor with profound health and socio-economic implications. The predominant form is non-specific LBP (NSLBP), lacking treatable pathology. Active physical interventions tailored to in...
BACKGROUND: Health-related patient-reported outcomes (HR-PROs) are crucial for assessing the quality of life among individuals experiencing low back pain. However, manual data entry from paper forms, while convenient for patients, imposes a considera...
In clinical practice, functional limitations in patients with low back pain are subjectively assessed, potentially leading to misdiagnosis and prolonged pain. This paper proposes an objective deep learning (DL) markerless motion capture system that u...
INTRODUCTION: Low back pain is a global health issue causing disability and missed work days. Commonly used MRI scans including T1-weighted and T2-weighted images provide detailed information of the spine and surrounding tissues. Artificial intellige...
This study aimed to enhance performance, identify additional predictors, and improve the interpretability of biopsychosocial machine learning models for low back pain (LBP). Using survey data from a 6-year nationwide study involving 17,609 adults age...
BACKGROUND: Modic changes are pathologies that are common in the population and cause low back pain. The aim of the study is to analyze the modic changes detected in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using deep learning modalities.
PURPOSE: High quality scan prescription that optimally covers the area of interest with scan planes aligned to relevant anatomical structures is crucial for error-free radiologic interpretation. The goal of this project was to develop a machine learn...

BACKGROUND: 'Mo-fi-disc' is a new scoring system that quantifies degeneration of the lumbar spine and predicts the intensity of low back pain (LBP). However, its association with LBP-related disability is unknown. In the present study, we aimed to an...
