Back pain study seeks volunteers

10 August 2011

University College London, Imperial College and Leicester University are conducting research into the role of movement for people with persistent back pain.

The study is using recent technological developments from the world of gaming to record participants' movements using sensors.

The universities are looking for volunteers from the Greater London area who experience back pain to take part. Travel expenses will be paid for participants.

Pete Moore, co-author of the Pain & Self Care Toolkit and Trainer, has called this "a unique opportunity for people with back pain to actually find out how they are moving and how technology can help them and others in the future."
