Disease-specific subgroup analyses confirmed the results. Conclusions: The present data suggest that patients with pBP have comparable functional and health-related quality of life outcomes after surgery for LDH or LSS with those of patients with pLP.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:26 AEDT ]]> Surgical resident education in noninstrumented lumbar spine surgery: a prospective observational study with a 4.5-year follow-up https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25901 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:16 AEDT ]]> The timed up and go test for lumbar degenerative disc disease https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27346 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:07 AEDT ]]> Validity and reliability of a measurement of objective functional impairment in lumbar degenerative disc disease: the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24334 18.4 seconds, respectively. Conclusion: The TUG test is a quick, easy-to-use, valid, and reliable tool to evaluate objective functional impairment in patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease. In the clinical setting, patients scoring a TUG test time of over 12 seconds can be considered to have functional impairment.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:37 AEDT ]]>
