8 wrz 2016 · A complete examination of the lumbar spine should include the following: inspection, palpation, range of motion, flexibility, muscle strength, sensory examination, reflexes, provocative maneuvers, as well as examination of gait.
1 gru 2015 · Learning Objectives: On completion of this article, you should be able to: (1) distinguish the key anatomical structures implicated in the pathogenesis of low back pain; (2) identify the clinical characteristics that differentiate axial and radicular low back pain; and (3) formulate an evidence-based treatment plan for low back pain.
1 lis 2021 · Exercise for Acute Low Back Pain With Leg Pain. Physical therapists may use exercise training interventions, including trunk muscle strengthening and endurance and specific trunk muscle activation, to reduce pain and disability for patients with acute LBP with leg pain.
Human literature demonstrates a clear association between altered muscle structure/function, most notably fatty infiltration and fibrosis, and low back pain disorders; other associations, including muscle cell atrophy and fiber type changes, are less clear.
24 wrz 2024 · This meta-analysis of results from 419 patients who underwent medial branch stimulation of the multifidus muscles showed clinically meaningful changes from baseline in pain, with time points ranging from 1.5 to 48 months, with a pooled mean reduction in pain intensity of 2.9 (95% CI: 2.1–3.7) on a 0-to-10 scale.
When assessing patients with low back pain, age can help us formulate hypothetical diagnoses about the potential pathoanatomical cause of pain: individuals aged less than 20 years old: low back pain is rare (apart from muscle sprains), so check for anomalies (e.g. spondylolisthesis / step-off)
