Sponsor's own description
AposTherapy is a home based exercise program utilizing footwear that causes exercise with normal activity that may significantly improve function in patients with back pain since patients with back pain have altered mechanics of motion contributing or due to the presence of the conditions. Capitalizing on the reported excellent adherence and clinical benefit of ApostTherapy in patients with significant knee and back pain, we propose to evaluate this as a conservative treatment that may supplant/supplement traditional pain medications and physical therapy in an at-risk urban inner city population.
