Brief Summary:
A case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Ankle Spine Syndrome or RAFFET Syndrome II This syndrome was reported in 6 patients 2 males and 4 females out of 1000 patients with a history of chronic ankle injuries affecting their calf muscles strength throughout the last 3 years The patients suffered from unresolved CLBP with radiculopathy contralateral to their calf muscle atrophy ie an ipsilateral calf muscle weakness induces contralateral lumbar radiculopathy that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long
Detailed Description:
There is a large body of research performed to investigate the etiology of contralateral radiculopathy However limited information exists to determine its incidence underlying pathomechanics and strategies for management Therefore this case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Ankle Spine Syndrome or RAFFET Syndrome II This syndrome was reported in 6 patients 2 males and 4 females out of 1000 patients with a history of chronic ankle injuries affecting their calf muscles strength throughout the last 3 years The patients suffered from unresolved CLBP with radiculopathy contralateral to their calf muscle atrophy ie an ipsilateral calf muscle weakness induces contralateral lumbar radiculopathy that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long Open and closed chain strengthening exercises for the calf muscle were performed The strengthening exercises include double leg calf raise ie straight and bent knees single leg calf raise ie straight and bent knee seated calf raise and wall sit calf raise The patients long-term back pain and function resolved greatly By including lumbar stabilization exercises core training and myofascial release therapy the symptoms resolved completely Furthermore with a follow-up after 6 months of a tailored home exercise program the clinical outcome measures still resolved completely
