1. A system for diagnosing an unknown low back pain condition, comprising:

  • A. means for generating a plurality of training data sets, each training data set including measurements of flexion-extension bending, lateral bending, and rotational bending associated with an historical occurrence of the low back pain condition, and a known diagnosis value associated with the historical occurrence of the low back pain condition;

    B. a neural network;

    C. means for training the neural network using the plurality of training data sets; and

    D. means, responsive to the trained neural network, for generating a target diagnosis value based upon selected measurements of flexion-extension bending, lateral bending, and rotational bending for an unknown low back pain condition.
