Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to answer the following question:

Is there a Correlation Between Lumbar Radiculopathy and Quality of Life in Patients with chronic lumbar spondylosis?

Detailed Description

Spondylosis is an age-related change of vertebrae and discs of the spine. These changes are often called degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis. When this condition is in the lower back, it's called lumbar spondylosis.

Lumbar osteoarthritis, disc degeneration, degenerative disc disease, and spondylosis are some of the terms used to describe disc changes. In fact, the condition is called spondylosis. Whenever there is a degeneration co-occurrence in the disc, the lumbar spine, the formation of osteophytes and the associated changes in the nerves and the resulting symptoms of pain.Spinal osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative process defined radiologically by joint space narrowing, osteophytosis, subchondral sclerosis, and cyst formation.

Osteophytes included within this definition fall into one of the two primary clinical categories.

The first, spondylosis deforms describes bony outgrowths arising primarily along the anterior and lateral perimeters of the vertebral endplate apophyses. These hypertrophic changes are believed to develop at sites of stress to the annular ligament and most commonly occur at thoracic T9-10 and lumbar L3 levels.These conditions lead to nerve root compression, resulting in radiating pain down the leg, commonly referred to as sciatica. The impact of lumbar radiculopathy extends beyond pain, affecting muscle function and neuromuscular control. The involvement of nerve roots such as L4, L5, and S1 can particularly affect the muscles in the lower extremities, including the plantar flexor muscles, which are crucial for movements like walking, running, and maintaining balance
