Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effect of specific three-dimensional (3D) positions of the trunk on patients with lumbar discogenic pain with radiculopathy aiming to find a position that directly decompresses the impinged root as well as the effect of this position on the CSA of the L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral foramen (IVF) using 3D-CT scan imaging of the real spine

Conditions

  • Disc Prolapse With Radiculopathy

Positioning technique

First time of testing: Firstly, the patients were scanned in the conventional neutral supine position and a 3D-CT scan was taken. Second time of testing: after 10 minutes, the patients were scanned in the modified reversed contralateral rotation (side-lying on a hard pillow with side bending to the non-affected side and rotation to non affected side). This is achieved through instructing the participant to first lie on the side lying on a wedge pillow (that is flexible with dimensions of 30 cm in height and 75 cm in length) to achieve trunk side bending to non-affected side this pillow is the same for all patients, then the patient/participant rotated to the affected side (pelvis on the trunk rotation), and 3D-CT scan. Third time of testing: after 48 hours, the patients were scanned in the modified reversed contralateral rotation.
