Chronic low back pain

How central sensitization shows up in gait and daily physical activity — the PhD line at Groningen / University Medical Center Groningen, carried out alongside rehabilitation and pain clinicians.

Establishing central sensitization inventory cut-off values in patients with chronic low back pain by unsupervised machine learning
X Zheng, C Lamoth, H Timmerman, E Ottem, M Reneman · Computers in Biology and Medicine, 178, 2024: 108739

Unsupervised clustering establishes Central Sensitization Inventory cut-off values from data rather than expert consensus.

Relationship between physical activity and central sensitization in chronic low back pain: Insights from machine learning
X Zheng, M Reneman, R Schiphorst Preuper, E Ottem, C Lamoth · Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 232, 2023: 107432

Physical activity intensity patterns, modelled with a hidden semi-Markov model, relate to central sensitization in chronic low back pain.

Association between central sensitization and gait in chronic low back pain: Insights from a machine learning approach
X Zheng, M Reneman, J Echeita, R Schiphorst Preuper, H Kruitbosch, E Ottem, C Lamoth · Computers in Biology and Medicine, 144, 2022: 105329

Gait features derived from one accelerometer separate chronic low back pain patients by level of central sensitization; SHAP shows which.
