Clinical Trial Summary

Hyperkyphosis, defined as excessive sagittal curvature of the thoracic spine, is the most common spinal deformity in elderly individuals. The prevalence of hyperkyphosis in elderly individuals is reported to be between 20% and 40%. Hyperkyphosis affects the mobility, walking, and balance of the individual negatively and causes changes in the physical performance of elderly individuals. Therefore, it is important to evaluate and treat hyperkyphosis in elderly people. One of the approaches to treating people with hyperkyphosis is the use of spinal orthoses such as the Spinomed orthosis and Biofeedback orthosis. Regular use of spinal orthoses reduces the angle of kyphosis by 11%. In addition, spinal orthoses help increase walking speed and distance, improve balance, and prevent falls. Spinomed and Biofeedback soft posture orthoses are spinal orthoses used in the treatment of kyphotic posture. Studies on Spinomed orthosis have demonstrated that it strengthens postural muscles, and therefore also prevents falls. Soft orthoses, which provide feedback, provide a warning to the individual through sound or vibration when the spinal alignment of the individual is disturbed, and provide the correction of posture with active muscle strength. However, little evidence exists regarding the effect of these two orthoses on improving balance and walking performance in elderly people with thoracic hyperkyphosis. Therefore, this study was developed to enable a comparison of the effect of the Spinomed orthosis and the biofeedback orthosis on balance and walking performance in elderly people with thoracic hyperkyphosis.


Description:

Volunteer healthy elderly individuals between the ages of 60-80 will be recruited into our study and the individuals will be randomly divided into two groups Spinomed orthosis and postural orthosis which provides biofeedback. In both groups, balance and gait assessments with or without orthosis will be done twice.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Balance assessment without the orthosis The Balance Performance Tests, which are performed using computerized posturography, measure postural sway and limit of stability in response to static and dynamic conditions, are measured using a force platform. at baseline
Primary Balance assessment with the orthosis The Balance Performance Tests, which are performed using computerized posturography, measure postural sway and limit of stability in response to static and dynamic conditions, are measured using a force platform. 1.5 hours after applying orthosis
Primary Gait assessment without the orthosis Gait parameters will be assessed via the G-Walk on two separate occasions. The G-Walk is a device that is worn on the waist via an elastic belt. The G-Walk has with a triaxial accelerometer,, a triaxial magnetometer, and a triaxial gyroscope. This hardware is capable of acquiring and transmitting data to a computer through a Bluetooth connection and at the end of each analysis an automatic report containing the gait assessment results is ready to be analyzed. at baseline
