| Description | Persons with lumbar disc herniation and nerve - root syndrome are a considerable part of patients spectrum in the neurologist and physiotherapist clinics. The disc hernia diagnosis is a subject of many scientific studies. But we do not find any citation between vibratory sensation and disc hernia diagnosis. The aim of this research was to evaluate the influence of disc herniation on the values of vibratory sensation and to determine the values of the vibratory sensation differences between a lower extremity with root syndrom and a lower extremity without nerve - root syndrome. Vibrameter type IV was used for measurements. The research group consisted of 15 probands with L4/L5 or L5/S1 disc herniation diagnosis. The control group consisted of 15 probands without any chronic back pain. With the statistical analysis of the values there were found significantly higher vibratory sensation in the lower limb with nerve -root syndrome in all of the location (metatarsophalangeal joint of the thumb, malleolus medialis and tuberositas tibiae), with excerption of spina iliaca anterior superior. This study indicates the possibility of using vibratory sensation testing as a tool that can help improve the diagnosis and therefore a treatment method for patients with disk hernia. |
