Q. Which of the anatomical feature might be affected in below patient with acute low back ache ?
a. Kyphosis
b Rotation
c. Flexion
d. Lordosis
Answer-
d.
The normal curves of spine are affected and they seem to be lost in the setting of acute back ache due to muscle spasm.
The normal curves are -
Cervical and lumbar region - lordosis
Thoracic region - kyphosis
Thus in cases with severe muscle spasm these normal curvatures will be lost as in case here depicted by loss of lumbar lordosis leading to straightening of lower back.
This shows importance of rest and pain medication with muscle relaxants as initial treatment to relieve pain and spasm.
