Lumbar spondylosis is a widespread condition, affecting between 60–90% of individuals at some point in their lives. It represents one of the leading causes of hospital admissions, healthcare expenditure, workplace absenteeism, and years lived with disability. Despite its prevalence, most cases of low back pain—up to 90%—do not involve serious pathology requiring imaging or advanced intervention. These are classified as non-specific lumbar spondylosis, which generally has a favorable prognosis, resolving within three to six weeks. The lumbar corset or jacket is often prescribed as a physical therapy option for patients with non-specific acute low back pain (LBP). However, scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness remains limited, and its role in improving patient outcomes is still debated. Given its frequent use in clinical practice, it is important to evaluate its impact on recovery and quality of life. This study was designed to assess the outcomes of patients with non-specific acute LBP treated with a lumbar jacket alongside a standard analgesic regimen, compared to those managed with analgesics alone. By examining patient responses, the research aimed to determine whether the addition of a lumbar jacket provides measurable benefits in terms of pain relief, functional improvement, and overall satisfaction. The findings are expected to contribute to the ongoing discussion about the role of physical support devices in managing acute low back pain. Ultimately, the study seeks to provide evidence that can guide clinical decision-making, optimize treatment protocols, and improve patient care in resource-limited settings. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Orthopaedic project topics and materials you might be interested in»Management of fracture clavicle - case study of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital»Management of fracture of tibia plateau - case study of University of Ibadan Teaching Hospital»A survey on the uses and effectiveness of oscillating saw in the removal of circular cast at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital»Attitude, practice, and knowledge of parents concerning clubfoot - case study of General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin»Effect and complication of traditional bone setter in management of fracture in General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara state»Developing effective injury prevention and management strategies for athletes participating in high-risk sports - a comprehensive review and guideline»Average time of radiological union following non-operative management of the scaphoid fracture - case study of General Hospital, Ilorin»Average number of cast to correct foot following tenotomy at General Hospital Ilorin, Kwara state»Assessment and outcome of patient following the application of lumbar jacket - case study of General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara state»Attitude and belief of UITH staff in management of femoral fracture by orthopedic surgeons or traditional bone setters»Patient outcomes following closed reduction and casting for Colles’s fractures - case study of Kwara State University Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara state»Prevalence and management of osteoporosis of the femur in female in Mubo community, Ilorin, Kwara state
