Brief Summary:
Body Mass Index BMI is thought to impact radiculopathy symptoms The pressure exerted by fatty tissue on muscle tissue can also significantly affect the nerves This condition causes radiculopathy Therefore high BMI causes an increase in the incidence of radiculopathy Consequently it is thought that pain caused by cervical radiculopathy may be related to BMI and affect functionality Also it is believed that with the increase in the load on the cervical region there will be an increase in degenerative disorders and an increase in the incidence of radiculopathy This study examines the relationship between BMI and peripheral muscle strength pain range of motion disability quality of life and functionality in patients with cervical radiculopathy
Detailed Description:
When radiculopathy occurs due to compression of the neck nerve roots due to pathologies in the neck it is called cervical radiculopathy It is thought that high and low BMI values have an impact on radiculopathy The pressure exerted by fatty tissue on muscle tissue can significantly affect the nerves This causes an increase in radiculopathy symptoms Therefore high BMI causes an increase in the incidence of radiculopathy The relationship between the degree of obesity visceral fat area body mass index abdominal circumference and lumbar disc herniation and pain is shown It has been stated in the literature that BMI is related to lumbar radiculopathy and pain level Still there appear to be inadequacies in examining its relationship with radiculopathy which is related to upper extremity functionality Therefore it is thought that pain caused by cervical radiculopathy may be associated with BMI and affect functionality more At the same time as BMI increases lumbar lordosis may affect spine biomechanics leading to deterioration in sagittal balance and an increase in cervical problems According to an international study It is stated that in obese individuals with high BMI values vertebral discs undergo degeneration due to the load on the spine
For this reason researchers have suggested that pain level increases linearly with BMI value It is stated that degenerating lumbar vertebrae progress to narrowing over time and that the risk of lumbar spinal stenosis may increase in individuals with high-fat content Therefore radiculopathy is thought to be a significant factor when looking at the relationship between pain in the musculoskeletal system and BMI
