“…Previous authors have suggested that a patient's subjective rating of pain/disability is not a reliable indicator of his or her impairment (i.e., objectively measured functional capacity) 3 months after spine surgery for degenerative disorders [37]. This would seem not to be the case, at least in the diagnostic group examined in the present study and as far as measures of spinal mobility are concerned.…”

“…Less extensive surgical procedure also has been associated with good outcomes in other studies [Taylor, 19891. More extensive decompressive surgery causes widespread surgical injury to bones, ligaments, and muscle structures, and so it also affects coordination and the functioning of the lumbar spine. In any case, the patient's motivation to restore function and strength after operation is essential to attaining optimal surgical results [Mayer et al, 1989;Taylor, 19893. In the regression analysis, the strenuousness of occupation had no effect on the postoperative working capacity in either gender. However, more women and men returned to light work than to heavy work, but this difference was significant (p < 0.05) only in men.…”

“…PLIF was first introduced in 1944 by Briggs and Milligan 5) and is used widely to treat scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal instability, and spinal stenosis. However, PLIF is very expensive, and patients may still suffer from LBP after the surgery as a result of adverse effects, such as muscle strength weakness due to extensive spinal muscle dissection, loss of trunk flexibility due to interbody fusion, a significant loss of performance ability, and are at risk of persistent dysfunction 1,4,6) .…”
