概要 CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS WITH LUMBAR FACET SYNDROME SHOWING EFFICACY
OF LUMBAR FLEXION EXERCISE

Introduction: Lumbar flexion exercise (flexion exercise) has reportedly shown efficacy for some patients with lumbar facet joint syndrome (LFS). The pathological processes underlying LFS resemble those for degenerative disc changes. Flexion exercises thus may not be suitable for some patients with LFS. We used imaging modalities including MRI to examine the characteristics of patients for whom flexion exercise shows efficacy against LFS.
