Operative Management of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Introduction Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) affects a significant proportion of people in the population and can cause discomfort, limit activities of daily living, and can lead to significant disability. Even though numerous technological advancements have been made in the treatment of LSS, its management continues to be a challenge for both patients and healthcare professionals. Spinal Stenosis is a condition characterized by either narrowing of the

techniques for lumbar pain and radiculopathy will still be effective, only with a higher than average recovery time.4,36 While it is anticipated that 80% of patients who are classified in practice pattern 4F will achieve anticipated goals and expected outcomes within 8-24 visits during a continuous episode of care, JP’s comorbidities and secondary impairments will likely indicate additional

Spinal stenosis of the lumbar vertebral column is commonly found in patients with chronic lower back, in combination with lower extremity pain.

On observation of the client, the head is rotated a little to the left as well as a slight chin poke is noticed. Also, more bulk is noticed on the right trapezius musculature. Range of motion examination of the cervical spine indicates pain 2 type on active and passive extension. Similarly, pain 2 type is reproduced on right side flexion on both active and passive movement. On passive accessory intervertebral movement examination, Postero-anterior central pressure (PA) reproduces pain before resistance

15% of extra pulmonary cases of tuberculosis occur in the bones and soft-tissue. 40 - 50% of these cases manifest as Pott’s disease. (Ansari et al. 404) Pott’s disease commonly affects the Thoracic and Lumbar spine. 40 – 50% of all cases affect the lower thoracic region, followed closely by the lumbar region which makes up 35 – 45% of all cases. Only 10% of cases involve the cervical spine. (Park et al. E130-E135) Symptoms And Side Effects Pott’s disease is one of the most dangerous forms of musculoskeletal
