Segmental instability of the lumbar spine.
The lumbar spine, although often described as a single functional unit, is composed of 5 vertebrae forming what are called "motion segments" connected in series.5 Each motion segment consists of 2 adjacent vertebral bodies and the connecting ligaments.6 Spinal motion segments represent the smallest segments of the spine exhibiting biomechanical characteristics similar to those of the entire spi...
متن کامل[Degenerative instability of the lumbar spine].
Degenerative instability is difficult to define, diagnose, and treat. Diagnosis and treatment of degenerative instability are based on the biomechanical stability of the functional spinal unit as well as on the pathologic diagnosis of the disease. Recent advancements in biomechanical studies on the functional spinal unit and radiological diagnostic methods have introduced new diagnostic criteri...
متن کاملTreatment of 44 Cases With Lumbar Spine Stenosis and Degenerative Instability: Outcomes of Surgical Intervention
Background and Aim: Degenerative lumbar spine disease can lead to lumbar spine instability. The patients can present with Low Back Pain (LBP), radicular pain, and motor and sensory dysfunction. Age >50, female sex and pregnancies are among prevalent risk factors. The degeneration process usually starts from the intervertebral discs progressing to involve facet joints, ligaments, and vertebral b...
متن کاملInstability of the lumbar spine - information, diagnosis and treatment
There can be many different reasons for lumbar spine instability to occur. Nevertheless, the most common reason is the natural degeneration of the spine. Instability of the vertebral column means that within the corresponding movement segment there might possibly be abnormal mobility. Long-term, the compensatory mechanisms of the spine cannot counteract this abnormal mobility. Over time, a defo...
متن کاملClinical Instability of the Lumbar Spine: Diagnosis and Intervention
Lumbar stabilization or ‘core’ stabilization exercises are currently popular interventions for patients with mechanical low back pain (MLBP). Stabilization exercises have typically been prescribed for patients with ‘spinal instability.’ But can we actually identify patients with spinal instability, and are these patients likely to benefit from stabilization exercises? The incidence of spinal...
