YouTube video (hosted by Jeff Langmaid) reviewing a randomized controlled trial comparing stabilization exercises versus flexion exercises for degenerative spondylolisthesis. The speaker defines degenerative spondylolisthesis, notes it is more common in people over 50, and highlights that it is reported to be about four times more prevalent in women than men.
On today's episode. We are back with more research. This one is all about stabilization exercises versus flexion exercises for degenerative spondylolisthesis. It's an rct. It's a good one. There's a lot of take home messages that we're going to touch on on this episode of one, is that degenerative spondylolisthesis? What is it? Well, of course it is when there's displacement of one vertebra over the other due to degenerative changes. Why does this happen? Well, there's a lot of different reasons. As with most things in the spine, there are multiple factors. One is that it's more common in people over 50 years old rather than those individuals under 50. What is really interesting, and I don't know enough to say that it makes total sense right off the bat is that it's four times, four times more common in women than men, which is really, really shocking. That is a big difference.
