Objectives:
This study aims to design and evaluate a novel Dynamic ECC (Extension–Coronal plane–Control) brace incorporating a spring-assisted uniaxial joint for managing low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis, with a focus on improving control, comfort, and user compliance.
Materials and Methods:
A custom Dynamic ECC brace is fabricated using lightweight polypropylene bands, aluminium lateral bars, and two spring-assisted joints. A single patient with L4–L5 degenerative spondylolisthesis used the brace over a 2-month period. Pain levels (VAS score) and radiographic Lumbosacral Angle (LSA) are assessed pre- and post-intervention.
Results:
The LSA shows no measurable change, likely due to the short intervention period. However, the patient reports a reduction in pain (VAS score from 7 to 5) and improved comfort and fit.
Conclusions:
The Dynamic ECC brace demonstrates promising early outcomes in pain relief and comfort. Design refinements and a larger, longer-term study are needed to validate its clinical effectiveness and durability.
