MOVEMENT ANALYSIS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING VERTEBRECTOMIES FOR SPINE ONCOLOGY: A PILOT STUDY

Analyze the geometric and kinematic parameters of the spine in patients undergoing vertebrectomy through gait analysis, both during the execution of motor tasks such as walking, standing, and basic trunk movements, with the aim of improving the assessment and, therefore, possibly, the treatment and the final clinical outcome.

Treatment and study plan

vertebrectomy

Other

en bloc resection of oncological vertebra

Primary outcomes

  1. Gait Analysis

    Time frame: 6 months after vertebrectomy

    Measure and correlate geometric and kinematic parameters of the trunk and spine through instrumental motion analysis, before and after vertebrectomy surgery in patients with oncological spinal diseases.

Secondary outcomes

  1. questionnaire

    Time frame: 6 months after vertebrectomy

    Evaluate patient-reported functional outcomes through self-administered questionnaires: Oswestry Disability Index and Fall Efficacy Scale-International

  2. spino-pelvic parameters

    Time frame: 6 months after vertebrectomy

    Measure the geometric spino-pelvic parameters (static) and compare them with the kinematic parameters (dynamic)
