TLS Vertebral Extension Orthosis for Osteoporotic Compression Fracture
Abstract: Osteoporosis & vertebral compression fracture have a considerable negative impact on an individual?s health related quality of life due to pain & fatigue, limitation in activity & social participation. Vertebral compression fractures are most common at the Thoraco-lumbar junction (T11-L1) followed by the mid thoracic region & are closely related to the increased thoracic kyphosis. Hyper kyphosis is also associated with back pain & fatigue, reduced respiratory function & gait balance disturbances as the centre of gravity is displaced anteriorly, closer to limits of stability with a subsequent increase risk of falls & fractures as a result of falling.
