Addition of SpinoMed to standard soft lumbar orthosis protocol offers no benefit after OVF
Prosthet Orthot Int. 2015 Aug;39(4):270-651 patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) were randomized to receive either traditional soft lumbar orthosis or SpinoMed orthosis (for 3 hours/day during the 2nd and 3rd weeks of treatment post injury) in combination with traditional soft lumbar orthosis. The purpose of the study was to assess if the use of a SpinoMed orthosis led to any significant changes in patient pain or functional mobility after the third week of treatment. Results demonstrated significant improvement within both groups for outcome measures, but no significant differences between groups. No additional benefit to using the SpinoMed device was noted.
