Analysis of statics of the pelvis in radicular and pseudoradicular syndrome of the lower part of the spine
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2014, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction. Radiculopathies and pseudoradiculopathies are the most common pain syndromes of the lumbar spine. This issue became a civilization disease and affects people of various ages. Goal. The goal of this work was to compare analgetic effectiveness of physiotherapy in radiculopathies and pseudoradiculopathies and to identify an association between syndromes of vertebral origin disorders of muscular elasticity as well as to assess the effects of therapy on pain-induced discomfort. Material and methods. Study included 40 patients divided into two groups. Group A consisted of patients with radiculopathy, while group B comprised pseudoradiculopathy subjects. Muscle energizing techniques (MET), Hold Relax method and classical massage of musculofascial structures were applied in therapy. It also involved physiotherapeutic procedures (Interference currents, Tens, Iontophoresis, UD, Laser, Sollux). Results. Based on the Oswestry questionnaire it was determined that among group A patients level of disability was reduced by 38%, while in group B it decreased by 31%. In both study groups therapy contributed to reduction of pain measured in VAS scale by 58%. Lumbar spine mobility measured with Schober test increased by 11% in group A and by 5% in group B. Administered physiotherapy contributed to normalization of length and tension of musculoligamentous structures. Conclusions. Study results show that radiculopathies and pseudoradiculopathies affect the disorders of pelvic statics presenting with shortening of muscle fibers and increased activity of connective tissue structures in this region. Physiotherapeutic methods applied in treatment of radiculopathies and pseudoradiculopathies significantly reduce pain. Some techniques (MET) restore muscle elasticity, contributing to lessening of discomfort.
