Prevalence of lumbosacral radiculopathy in two Sicilian municipalities
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 1996 Objectives - As part of a door-to-door survey of neurologic diseases, we investigated the prevalence of lumbosacral radiculopathy (LR) in two Sicilian municipalities (N=14,540, as of November 1, 1987).

Identifying Lumbosacral Radiculopathies
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2000The objective of this study was to determine prospectively the optimal electromyographic screening examination of the lower limb that ensures identification of those lumbosacral radiculopathies that can be electrodiagnostically confirmed, yet minimizes the number of muscles studied.A prospective multicenter study was conducted from May 1996 to ...

Utility of thermography in the diagnosis of lumbosacral radiculopathy
Neurology, 1991We performed infrared telethermography in 55 patients with the clinical diagnosis of lumbosacral radiculopathy and in 37 normal controls. Five readers interpreted the thermograms in a blinded fashion. A moderate degree of agreement was noted in tests of intraobserver and interobserver variability.

Lumbosacral radiculopathies: conservative approaches to management
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2002The prevalence of sciatica in Western society and its economic and functional impact make it an important problem to understand for treatment. Such understanding will impact greatly both medical management and decisions regarding activity, which could affect the perceived disability and financial dependence of a patient. This knowledge could be used to

The role of thermography in the evaluation of lumbosacral radiculopathy
Neurology, 1989We studied 27 normal subjects and 30 patients with low back pain to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of thermography in the diagnosis of lumbosacral radiculopathy. Thermographic abnormality was defined as the presence of either interside temperature difference exceeding 3 standard deviations from the normal mean, or an abnormal heat pattern overlying ...

LUMBOSACRAL RADICULOPATHY SCREEN
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 1994The literature is unclear as to which muscles and how many are required for a sensitive lumbosacral radiculopathy (LSR) screen. A retrospective study of 247 electrodiagnostically confirmed LSRs in 201 patients over a 3-yr period was conducted to determine how many muscles were required to identify a LSR.

Lumbosacral and Thoracic Radiculopathies
2013Lumbosacral radiculopathy and low back pain are common medical problems. Patients with low back and/or leg pain are often suspected of having lumbosacral nerve root compression and referred to neurologists, neuromuscular specialists, and/or electrodiagnostic laboratories.

Fibrillation potentials in paraspinal muscles in chronic lumbosacral radiculopathy
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2002 To assess the rate of fibrillation and/or positive sharp waves (FPSW) in the paraspinal muscles (PM) of patients with chronic lumbosacral radiculopathy, PM and leg muscles of 179 patients, 1 1 1 men and 68 women, aged 24-68 years (mean 49.0 ± 9.3), were ...
