About

The aim of this study was to research the effect of the Lumbar Spinal Rotational Mobilization technique on radiological findings, pain, disability and joint range of motion (ROM) in patients with lumbar disc herniation

Full description

In our study, it was aimed to investigate the acute effect of Lumbar Rotational Spinal Mobilization Technique on radiological findings, pain, disability and range of motion in 26 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation(LDH) by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and physical examination. Disc height, herniation distance and facet joint distance of the patients were measured with MRI. Pain was assessed with the Visual Analogue Scale. Disability was measured with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire and Lumbar range of motion(ROM) was measured with a goniometer and tape measure. Rotational Spinal Mobilization Technique was applied to the patients in 2 sessions with a one-week interval, slowly and with 30 repetitions in both directions. All assessments were repeated within 1 week after treatment. It was observed whether there was an improvement in terms of radiological, pain, disability and ROM in the patients. 2 months after the 2nd evaluation, other parameters except the radiological evaluation were reapplied and it was tried to determine whether the effect persisted.
