Abstract

Objective · To investigate the effect of early neurodynamic mobilization on the recurrence of sciatica after the minimally invasive surgerytransforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF). Methods · Fifty-four patients who underwent MIS-TLIF were divided into treatment group (n=28) and control group (n=26). The control group received conventional rehabilitation treatment, while the treatment group received neurodynamic mobilization every day after the first post-operative day. The score of visual analogue scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score were evaluated before and after the treatment. Results · There was no significant difference in the score of VAS or JOA between two groups before the treatment or three months after surgery (P>0.05). The score of VAS was significantly lower (P<0.05), and the JOA score was significantly higher (P<0.05) in the treatment group than in the control group four days after surgery. Conclusion · The early neurodynamic mobilization is effective to decrease the recurrence rate of sciatica in patients underwent MIS-TLIF.
