: Low back pain (LBP) is a highly prevalent disorder frequently related to biomechanical alterations. Movement pattern assessments have a role in the rehabilitation management of patients with LBP; however, a precise assessment is challenging in routine clinical settings. Thus, this study aims to assess the biomechanical alterations related to LBP through the development and application of an innovative assessment tool named CameraLab. Patients with LBP were assessed through a video analysis system. The movement pattern assessment tool includes a touchscreen interface and four high-velocity cameras, enabling real-time data acquisition during movement assessments. The cameras capture dynamic movements, facilitating a thorough examination of motor function. A video analysis software application is employed for precise angle assessments and joint tracking. Three patients with LBP were assessed, demonstrating positive results in pain intensity, functional independence, and overall well-being. The integration of advanced technology highlighted the movement pattern alterations and contributed to tailored rehabilitation strategies. The study offers a paradigm shift toward precision rehabilitation. This innovative approach provides valuable insights into the biomechanical changes related to LBP, fostering a deeper understanding for clinicians and paving the way for effective personalized interventions in the management of LBP.
