Hi all,
I am an orthotic Resident and C.P. in Chicago conducting my residency
research project on Orthotic Lumbar degenerative disease prescription
trends. I have been trying to send this to the list plain text, and I
hope the link works this time. If any asterisks appear, delete them and
the url will work.
If you are an orthotic provider, would you help me gather data for my
research project? Below is an abstract and links to the surveys. This is
a survey for the US states and territories only at this time. Thanks for
your help!

Sandra Schechner, C.P./Orthotic Resident
P.S. If there is also a physician survey..If you know any MD's willing
to fill it out, please send me an email at <Email Address Redacted> or
<Email Address Redacted> and I will send you the physician link.
P.S.S. This is the abstract:
*_Abstract _*
/Objective:/The primary purpose of this study is to determine current
trends in theconservative and post-operative orthotic management of
lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD). /Hypotheses:/ *1)* Orthotic
prescriptions for LDDD are based on physician or clinician preference,
training, and regional trends more than on evidence based practice. *2)*
Medical doctors may be able to better classify the disease severity and
orthotists and orthotic fitters may know more about which motions each
orthotic device controls./Design: /The study will be conducted via the
distribution of separate questionnaires to American physicians and
orthotic providers, including orthotists, orthopedic spinal doctors,
spinal neurosurgeons, orthopedic residents, osteopathic doctors, and
orthotic fitters. The sample will be stratified by region of the country
within the practitioner categories stated above. /Discussion:/ Analysis
of the results will determine if these treatments are appropriately
linked to the severity of the disease, if there are regional variations
in treatment protocols, and other relevant information. This work is
important because there currently appear to be no clear standards on the
orthotic management of LDDD.
