Plain-language summary
This observational study aims to investigate the spinopelvic relationship parameters change during the five main positions during Muslim prayers. The main questions the study is going to answer: What are the changes of the spinopelvic parameters during different Muslim prayer positions?

Exclusion Criteria:
* Participants refusing to volunteer.
* Participants who are not able to perform prayer positions comfortably.
* Those who had prior spine or hip surgeries.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Since this study is 'enrolling by invitation only,' how would I find out if I'm eligible to be invited, and who is conducting the recruitment?
2This trial involves taking multiple X-rays across five different Muslim prayer positions — how much radiation exposure would that involve, and is that a concern given my current health situation?
3Since this is a Phase NA observational study measuring spinal and pelvic alignment rather than testing a treatment, what would my participation actually look like day-to-day, and would the results have any direct benefit for my own care?
4The study is measuring how spinopelvic parameters change during prayer positions — if the results show my spinal alignment is being affected by certain positions, would that change any recommendations my doctor might make for me?
5Are there any physical conditions or spinal issues that might make it uncomfortable or risky for me to hold the required prayer positions during the imaging, and should I discuss my specific spine health before considering participation?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
