Unravelling the riddle of spondylolysis: a biomechanical approach to improving prevention, detection and treatment of a common spinal complaint. [ 2014 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Claire Jones (Principal investigator)

Brief description Low back pain represents a significant social and economic burden in Australia and can be debilitating for individuals. This project aims to understand the biomechanical origins and consequences of spondylolysis, a common spinal stress fracture affecting both children and adults. The results of these studies will contribute to improved prevention, detection and treatment of this spinal condition, and reduce the incidence of more serious spinal problems which can occur subsequent to spondylolysis.
