750,000 Americans are estimated to suffer one or more spinal fractures each year due to osteoporosis and 25% of people who suffer a vertebral fracture will suffer another vertebral fracture within 5 years. It is probable that static (posture) and dynamic (gait) related abnormal loading of the spine interact with age-weakened tissue to produce a series of degenerative effects that culminate in disc degeneration and spine fractures. To reduce the incidence and severity of spontaneous vertebral compression fractures, it is first necessary to identify motion and postural patterns that could lead to increased loading of the vertebrae resulting in fractures over time.
