Bone Stimulator for Spondylolysis

This outcome will be evaluated via REDCap with a Return to Sport Questionnaire, which will ask what sport(s) participant played prior to injury, if they have returned to the sports they played prior to back injury, what level of sports they returned to (recreational, organized, professional), what level of play they have returned to (same as before injury, higher than before injury, or lower than before injury), and if they report that they did not return to sport, what the reason was. This outcome will also be evaluated by the Tegner Activity Level, which will ask participants to rate their highest level of activity they participated in before their injury and at the current moment on a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 is sick leave or disability pension because of spine problems and 10 is competitive sports at the national elite level.

Pain levels will be assessed with the visual analog scale, which asks patients to place a mark on a scale from no pain to worst possible pain level where they think their pain level is best represented.

Pain levels will be assessed with one question on the Oswestry Disability Index which asks about a subjective rating of pain intensity from "I have no pain at the moment" to "the pain is the worst imaginable at the moment."

This outcome will be measured with the Oswestry Disability Index which asks participants to rate various aspects of their lives with subjective measures on how they are faring with daily tasks such as personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, social life, travel, etc. This scale consists of ten questions which are each scored from 0 to 5. A higher total cumulative score reflects worse outcomes with 81-100% indicating a participant is bedbound, and lower scores indicating better outcomes with 0-20% reflecting little hindrance to ability to cope with daily life.

Attendance at physical therapy will be tracked through EPIC as part of study participation.
