Effect of treatment on back pain and back extensor strength with a spinal orthosis in elderly women with osteoporosis: a randomized controlled trial
96 elderly women with osteoporosis and back pain, with or without vertebral fracture, were randomized to one of three groups. Participants received either a spinal orthosis, a training program, or usual care. Participants were assessed after 3 and 6 months for back extensor strength and back pain. Results demonstrated a 27% increase from baseline to 6 months in back extensor strength within the spinal orthosis group, which was significantly greater than that observed in the control group (10%). The improvement from baseline in back extensor strength after 6 months in the training program group was 22%.
