Development, assessment and application of a new method for characterizing degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis in the symptomatic upright posture.
FY 2017-18
Summary
The objectives of this project are to develop a new method for assessing a degenerative spinal condition called degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS). What sets this method apart is that it allows assessment in the upright posture, when patients experience symptoms. We will assess and validate the new method, and apply the findings to improve assessment of patients prior to surgery. Achieving these objectives will provide a new method for assessing DLS that has the potential to improve diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
