Objective assessment for exercise treatment on the B-200 isostation as part of work tolerance rehabilitation. A random prospective blind evaluation with comparison control population.

The purpose of this study was to assess repeated exercise on the B-200 Isostation as part of rehabilitation work tolerance for nonsurgical patients with lumbar spine disorders. For a consecutive 7-month period, treatment subjects were randomly assigned according to birth date for participation in two groups: a standard work tolerance program only or standard work tolerance program plus inclusion of exercise on the B-200 Isostation. Each patient had similar referral diagnosis requiring conservative treatment.

Spinal rehabilitation by work tolerance based on objective physical capacity assessment of dysfunction. A prospective study with control subjects and twelve-month review.

A work tolerance program was used for rehabilitation treatment of 45 patients with spinal dysfunction. Patients entering the treatment group were prospectively evaluated by objective physical capacity assessment (PCA). Treatment patients averaged 4 weeks of three, one half day sessions per week.
