ASSESSMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH LUMBAR SPINE DORSOPATHIES
Abstract
The relevance of the problem of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation stems from several reasons. First and foremost, a significant portion of the global population suffers from this condition—over 80% worldwide. Herniated lumbar discs are particularly common in developed countries where sedentary lifestyles are prevalent. The incidence in the general population is between 58–84%, with a prevalence rate of 4–33%. The goal of this study is to assess the quality of life in patients with lumbar spine dorsopathies.
