Patient sex, age, comorbidities (Charlson Comorbidity Index), preoperative anterior tibialis strength (manual muscle testing, MMT), and duration of foot drop were ascertained from clinical notes. Prognostic factors affecting foot drop improvement were calculated with a discrete time proportional hazards ...
A set of clinical tests, including manual muscle testing, sensory testing, Lasegue sign, and crossed Lasegue sign are recommended to diagnose LDH. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for confirming suspected LDH. Conclusions These eleven final consensus statements provide current, ...
Motor function was assessed using manual muscle testing and subdivided according to the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale. Patient demographics, neurologic deficits, duration of motor deficits, treatment characteristics, and outcome were assessed. At a minimum follow-up of 1 year, functional ...

On physical examination, manual muscle testing revealed 4/5 strength in the left L4-L5 myotomes, with full strength in the remaining lower-extremity myotomes. Palpation revealed tenderness over the left-lower paraspinal muscles. Reflexes were +2 and symmetric at the patella and Achilles tendons, ...
13.12). They must allow adequate motion and fixed postures between vertebrae, enabling a minimum amount of muscle energy to be used. In addition, they protect the spine by restricting motion and in particular protect the spinal cord in traumatic situations, where high loads are applied at rapid...

Participants randomized to Group 1 will receive the standard approach provided at the Spinal Stenosis Clinic at Mount Sinai Hospital; however tailoring will be required with respect to the intensity and type of exercise and manual therapy techniques used, not unlike usual practice. We selected a ...
Manual tractiontaking account of antalgic posture may be attempted in theacute stage. In other words, if the antalgic posture is in kyphosis, then traction is performed with the patient supine over the practitioner's knee, but if the antalgic posture is in lordosis, then traction is performed ...
We present the database MyoSegmenTUM Spine with manually segmented lumbar muscle groups and vertebral bodies in MR images of 54 healthy volunteers together with corresponding manual segmentation masks. The data can be used as a training and test datasets for the development of automatic lumbar muscle...
