Tokyo, Aug. 15 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062539) titled 'Effects of AI-based real-time feedback on low back load during patient transfer assistance: a randomized controlled trial' on Aug. 10.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -but assessor(s) are blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Fukuoka Sakurajuji Medical Corporation (Sakurajuji Advanced Rehabilitation Center SACRA)

Condition: Condition - Low back load during patient transfer assistance in healthcare workers (healthy volunteers) Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To examine the immediate effects of AI-based real-time feedback of lumbar moment waveforms, derived from markerless motion analysis (VP-Ergono), in addition to standard transfer instruction and review of participants' own video, on biomechanical low back load (peak lumbar moment and cumulative lumbar load) during patient transfer among healthcare workers who routinely perform transfer assistance. The association between changes in mechanical load and acute subjective burden (pre-to-post changes in pain and fatigue) is also examined. This is a single-session, immediate intervention; effects on chronic low back pain are not evaluated. The direction of change in lumbar load is not prespecified. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - In addition to standard transfer instruction, participants review video of their own transfer performance and receive real-time feedback of lumbar moment waveforms derived from markerless motion analysis (VP-Ergono) (single session). Interventions/Control_2 - In addition to standard transfer instruction, participants review video of their own transfer performance without presentation of lumbar moment waveforms (single session). Both groups receive standard instruction and video review, so the between-group difference is limited to the presence or absence of AI feedback (waveform presentation).

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - Not applicable Age-upper limit - Not applicable Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language-hearing therapists, nurses, and care workers employed by the medical corporation who provide written informed consent. Key exclusion criteria - Individuals with severe acute low back pain or neurological symptoms that make it difficult to perform the measurement task; and individuals whom the principal investigator judges to be unsuitable for participation. Target Size - 60

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Open public recruiting Date of protocol fixation - 2026 Year 02 Month 17 Day Date of IRB - 2026 Year 02 Month 17 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2026 Year 02 Month 18 Day Last follow-up date - 2028 Year 03 Month 31 Day
