The article discusses a study which systematically reviewed the accuracy of clinical examination for the diagnosis of the clinical syndrome of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), a condition in older adults characterized with lower extremity pain. The review included studies on the accuracy of history and physical examination in diagnosing LSS, published in MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL from January 1966 to September 2010. It found that the likelihood of the clinical syndrome of LSS in patients with lower extremity pain increases in people 70 years and older. The authors cited having no pain when seated, improvement of symptoms when bending forward and the presence of bilateral buttock or leg pain as the most useful symptoms of LSS. |
