Abstract
Objective. To analyze the most significant criteria for early detection of radiculopathy in patients with inflammatory diseases of the spine basing on the analysis of F-wave parameters obtained by stimulation electroneuromyography of lower extremities.
Material and Methods. Primary F-wave parameters were studied in two groups of patients with inflammatory diseases of the spine: with diagnosed radiculopathy (n = 12), and without radiculopathy (n = 14).
Results. The most diagnostically significant parameters of electroneuromyography were F-wave amplitude, minimal velocity, and tacheodispersion. They allow for detection of neurological pathology at early stages of its development when marked clinical symptoms of radiculopathy are not manifested.
Conclusion. Diagnostically significant parameters of the wave may be used in preclinical diagnosis of radiculopathy in patients with inflammatory diseases of the spine both for the assessment of initial neurological status and indications for surgical treatment, and for estimation of postoperative dynamics.
