Abstract
This is a triaxial dynamometer that measures the functionality of the lumbar spine in its three axes. The data obtained are valid, objective and reliable. It discriminates healthy population from back pain population without scientific evidence of discrimination of individuals. It permits the follow-up of the different therapies in the low back pain conditions, observing their evolution and motivating the patient through visualization on the screen of the progress of his/her own exercise. There is no evidence in the present medical literature that it has diagnostic utility and that it contributes important advantages, using it as a therapeutic tool against other techniques. It evaluates the sincerity of the effort of the test in a high percentage, this also being correlated with the data of the clinical examination. Although its cost is high, it may be considered profitable by its contribution in the evaluation of efforts alone, without considering the rest.
