Sciatica (sciatica, SCI), lower extremity nerve dysfunction (neurological cafetiere deficits, NEU) of the impact of such patients is not clear, in addition to daily life activity (activity of daily living, ADL) used to assess the patient's functional status However, elderly patients with ADL LBP, LBP + SCI or (LBP + SCI + NEU) relationship is also yet to be confirmed. Therefore, community-based cafetiere population, Iman Ghanei, who designed a cross-sectional study, in order to clear the study period of 1 year old in LBP, LBP + SCI, LBP + SCI + NEU and quantitative analysis of the incidence of these symptoms cause pain , ADL limited circumstances, and recently published in the European Spine Journal (Eur Spine J).
The results: 24% of the subjects had suffered too LBP, 8% suffering from LBP associated with SCI, 14% suffering from LBP with SCI and NEU, which simply LBP patients 10%, LBP with SCI patients 22% (LBP + SCI), LBP and neurological damage associated with SCI (LBP + SCI + NEU) in 36% of patients considered severe pain (p <0.01); simple LBP of 23%, LBP + SCI of 31% LBP + SCI + NEU 50% said ADL (p <0.001). LBP patients need simple brake 7 days (3-14 days), LBP + SCI needs brake 6 days (2-14 days), and LBP + SCI + NEU need 10 days (3-30 days) (p <0.05 ).
