Objectives
 This study aims to clinically validate musculoskeletal alignment (MSKalign) digital management platform for low back pain (LBP) with AI auto-evaluation, personalized physiotherapy (PT) planning, and disease progression prediction. Hypothesis: MSKalign has high sensitivity in detecting and accurately evaluating LBP that requires personalized medical intervention, as well as high sensitivity in predicting subject-specific disease progression using baseline demographic information.
