Medical examination of patients with lumbar osteochondrosis

Abstract

Our goal was to develop a method for selecting patients with lumbar osteochondrosis for dispensary observation in a large industrial enterprise. 474 workers aged from 19 to 60 years with work experience from 3 to 20 years or more were examined according to the standard neuro-orthopedic technique [6] using tensoalgimetry [Ia] and curvimetry [5]. For a comprehensive assessment of the identified clinical manifestations of diseases, the disease severity coefficient (CVB) was used [7]. Based on these methods, 158 (33.4%) patients were diagnosed with lumbar osteochondrosis in remission. In order to identify patients at risk, we organized a three-year dynamic follow-up of the remaining 316 (66.7%) practically healthy individuals. During this time, 156 people developed symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis. These individuals were assigned to the risk group by us. Thus, all the examined were retrospectively divided into three groups: the 1st consisted of practically healthy (160), the 2nd was a risk group (156) and the 3rd included patients with lumbar osteochondrosis (158).
