The rarity of the syndrome has prevented the establishment of specific guidelines for management; therefore, we will discuss this case in the context of similar previously reported cases, contrasting the various treatment approaches and outcomes described in previous reports. This discussion outlines a syndrome not commonly considered in the differential diagnosis of back pain.

Saphenous neuropathy in a patient with low back pain.

January 24, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Saphenous neuropathy in a patient with low back pain.
We present a male patient with low back pain concomitant with pain in medial portion of thigh and numbness in addition to pain in leg and inferior part of patella after a strenuous activity . Preliminary diagnosis suggested that the patient had radiculopathy but electrodiagnostic tests revealed the absence of left saphenous response both in medial leg and infrapatellar region, while normal findings were recorded from right side. Needle electromyography in L4 innervated muscles can differentiate between radiculopathy and saphenous neuropathy. The patient had saphenous nerve entrapment in left thigh. Two months later symptoms relieved completely with conservative therapy. (Source: BioMed Central)

Changes in paraspinal muscles and their association with low back pain and spinal degeneration: CT study
This study was an ancillary project to the Framingham Study. A sample of 3,529 participants aged 40–80 years had a CT scan performed to assess aortic calcification. 187 individuals were randomly enrolled in this study. LBP in the last 12 months was evaluated using self-report questionnaire. Density (in Hounsfield units) of multifidus and erector spinae was evaluated on CT. The prevalence of intervertebral disc narrowing, facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA), spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis were also evaluated. We used linear regression models to examine the association of paraspinal muscles density with age, sex, BMI, LBP, and spinal degeneration features. The results show that in our study, men have higher density of paraspinal muscles than women, young…

Learn Back Pain Education For Back Sufferers
There are many reasons that a person’s back begins to hurt. The cause of back pain could stem from the spine itself, the muscles and ligaments surrounding the spine, and other organs that can develop a pain that radiates to the back. This type of pain can also be caused by a compressed or pinched nerve, that can cause numbness or weakness which progresses down through one leg and even into the foot.

Retraining motor control of abdominal muscles among elite cricketers with low back pain
The purpose of this study was to document the effect of a staged stabilization training program on the motor control of the anterolateral abdominal muscles in elite cricketers with and without low back pain (LBP). Changes in the cross-sectional area of the trunk, the thickness of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis (TrA) muscles and the shortening of the TrA muscle in response to an abdominal drawing-in task were measured at the start and completion of a 13-week cricket training camp. Measures were performed using ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging. Participants from the group with LBP underwent a stabilization training program that involved performing voluntary contractions of the multifidus, TrA and pelvic floor muscles, while receiving feedback from ultrasound …
