Summary

Our purpose is to determine the incidence of trigger points in patients who remain in a fixed position for a long time during lumbar disc herniation surgery.

Detailed description

The 110 participants between 30-70 years are chosen from patients who had lumbar disc herniation surgery. The trigger points are determined by manually palpating quadratus lumborum, iliocostalis lumborum, gluteus Maximus, gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, ve piriformis muscles before and after surgery. Data will be recorded on the patient assessment file and transferred to the computer and analyzed. Data analysis will be performed with SPSS.20.

Conditions
