INDEX CLINICAL SYNDROMES OF NEURAL ORIGIN LOWER EXTREMITY • INTRODUCTION • NERVE ENTRAPMENT SYNDROMES IN THE LOWER EXTREMITY • Clinical Presentation Fisioterapia Musculoesquelética II Universidad San Pablo-CEU 2 1 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION • Possible entrapment by muscular, bony, or ligamentous structures. • Bone tunnels, osteofibrous tunnels, etc. • Mechanical Interface • Places of division of the SN. • What are the areas • Areas where the SN is close • higher risk? • to rigid structures. • Areas where the NS is more fixed. • Stress Points. 3 4 2 LUMBAR RADICULOPATHY SUBJECTIVE EXPLORATION(C/O) • Lumbar plexus • BODY MAP • Lumbosacral plexus • Neuropathic pain in the dermatome • Causes: • Associated Symptoms • Hernia lumbar • (paresthesias) • Foramen stenosis • Motor Symptoms in Cases • conjunction • Serious • More common in L5 and S1 • Consider the level of injury 7 8 4 SUBJECTIVE EXPLORATION(C/O) OBJECTIVE EXPLORATION(P/E) 24-HOUR BEHAVIOR • STRAIGHT LEG RAISE TEST Unilateral pain • PRONE KNEE BEND TEST Pain increases when sitting, coughing, sneezing • NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION It will depend on the level affected HISTORY Between 5% and 10% with low back
