Review of surgical methods for stabilizing the lumbosacral spine in dogs with chronic L7-S1 instability.
Vet Res Commun

Chronic instability at the lumbosacral junction, particularly between the L7 vertebra and the sacral bone, presents significant challenges in veterinary orthopedics, especially for large breed dogs. This condition frequently results in severe pain, neurological deficits, and mobility impairments, prompting the development of various surgical techniques aimed at effectively stabilizing the affected area. A critical evaluation of the literature on surgical stabilization of the lumbosacral spine in dogs reveals the clinical applications, outcomes, and future directions in veterinary spinal surgery.

Objective: The purpose of this case report is to describe self-administered lumbar traction as a component of the treatment of a patient with low back pain (LBP).
Clinical Features: A 41-year-old male chiropractic student presented with an exacerbation of intermittent LBP of approximately 2 years duration. Pain intensity was 4 to 8/10 on a verbal pain scale the day after exertion and 10 on the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 3a.

Background: Low back pain is a prevalent global condition often challenging to address due to the absence of a definitive diagnosis in over 80 % of cases. Manual lifting, common in many work environments, contributes to low back pain due to lumbar spine stresses, and existing assistive technologies like abdominal belts and exoskeletons have limitations in managing low back pain effectively. This paper presents a novel back support device designed to generate abdominal compression during flexion activities, potentially enhancing lumbar stability through increased intra-abdominal pressure.

Osseointegration along with better mimicry of natural bone behaviour addresses the long-term performance of artificial intervertebral disc prosthesis. Here the effect of a novel artificial intervertebral disc geometry on stress, deformation and strain on lumbar segments to restore movement of the spine was investigated. The process involved, using CT image data, and solid modelling, simulation-driven design and finite element (FE) analysis, hexahedral mesh sensitivity analysis, implant placements.

Space agencies plan crewed missions to the Moon and Mars. However, microgravity-induced lumbopelvic deconditioning, characterized by an increased fat fraction (FF) due to reduced physical activity, poses a significant challenge to spine health. This study investigates the spatial distribution of FF in the lumbopelvic muscles to identify the most affected regions by deconditioning, utilizing a computer-vision model and a tile-based approach to assess FF changes.
