Case Report: Lumbal Spine Compression Fractures in Spondylolisthesis Modified Chairback Orthosis

Lumbosacral orthoses are used commonly as a conservative treatment method in spondylolisthesis and stable spine compression fractures. Modified chairback orthosis, which developed by 4 forces on the basis of biomechanical principles, was applied with the spondylolisthesis to the 74 year old case who has a compression fracture. Effect of orthosis was assesed by comparing lumbosacral region range of motion and effect to the daily activities was assessed by comparing rigid LSO. As a result, modified chairback orthosis allowed 2º-7º motion at lumbosacral region and reduced the pain. Orthosis did not cause any difficulty in daily activites except putting on and off
