Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Age between 18 and 50 years.
  • * Ability to perform physical exercises, including bending at the waist.
  • * Ability to understand verbal and tactile cues.
  • * History of low back pain, pelvic pain, or hip pain.
  • * Participants that have pain with the intervention.
  • * Current or past musculoskeletal injuries affecting hip, knee, ankle, or foot function.
  • * Any condition limiting the ability to perform or participate in physical activities.
  • * Pregnant individuals or those planning pregnancy during the study duration.
  • * This project will exclude the following special populations from participating: Adults unable to consent, individuals who are not yet adults (infants, children, teenagers), pregnant women, and prisoners. Pregnant women will be excluded due to the natural change in body mechanics that occurs during pregnancy, as this would lead to outliers in the data.
