ABSTRACT

Objective:

To explore pathogeny and clinical effect of physiotherapy in young patients with lumbar disc hemiation (LDH).

Method:

Eighteen young LDH patients at 20-30 years old were administered comprehensive physiotherapy including lumbar traction, pulsed short wave therapy, pulsed magnetotherapy or low frequency modulated medium frequency electrotherapy. Before and after treatment, lumbar function was assessed with JOA scale.

Result:

Nine patients had specific trauma history; nine patients had sedentary lifestyle; five patients worked lor more than 8h/d in standing position; four patients had body mass index (BMI) 24-28. There was no significant difference in age, BMI and JOA scores between male and female group (P>0.05). Patients scored significantly higher after treatment (P<0.05). The remarkable effective rate of physiotherapy was 72.22%.

Conclusion:

Trauma, sedentary lifestyle, standing for long time, overweight or obesity are primary risk factors of LDH for youth and should be prevented by health education. Physiotherapy is significant efficient for young LDH patients.
