Raised life expectancy and aging of the general population are associated with an
increased concern for fragility fractures due to factors such as osteoporosis, reduced bone …

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) can cause severe pain, changes in
balance, gait velocity, muscle fatigue, risk of falls, and subsequent fractures. Thus, OVCF …
