Abstract
This article discusses the postoperative rehabilitation success of a 42-year-old white male patient who underwent discectomy cnd fusion of the L5-S1 vertebrae in 1989. The operative procedures were a technical success, but the patient continued to suffer from chronic low-back pain symptoms and remained unemployed and on disability. He was particularly sensitive to forward flexed postures and exhibited low tolerance for exercise. The patient was fitted with a Bending Non-Demand Return (BNDR®) lumbosacral orthosis (LSO) designed speclfically for dynamic assistance white in the forward flexed posture. Results were dramatic; back range of motion and mobility were substantially improved with increased tolerance for exercise, resulting in a weight loss of 34 lbs and improved quality of life. The authors believe this to be the first application of a dynamic orthosis to aid in low-back rehabilitation.
