PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The latest research demonstrates that spinal bracing with
specific design characteristics are beneficial as an adjunct to current
non-invasive, non-pharmacologic treatments for subacute and chronic low back
pain. However, longstanding misconceptions about bracing have prevented
widespread adoption outside of traditional applications focused on motion
restriction.
PROGRAM GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of this program, the registrant
will:
- Understand the myths and
misconceptions regarding spinal bracing and the lack of clinical evidence
supporting these misconceptions.
- Understand the benefits of
bracing for enhancing trunk stability and the clinical evidence that
supports these concepts.
- Understand the benefits of
bracing as an adjunct to current treatment options.
- Understand the benefits of
bracing as a non-invasive, non-pharmacologic treatment option.
