- Background and objectives: Prolapse intervertebral disc (PIVD) is a pathological process resulting from disc or spine degeneration, leading to back pain, referred pain, radicular pain, sensory or motor symptoms or bladder involvement. Diagnosis is clinically based and the evaluation is by MRI, CT, EMG or NCS. This research work aims to study the diagnosing power of paraspinal muscles in lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse. Methods: Thirty clinically and radiologically confirmed cases were electromyographically evaluated in the dept. of Physiology in collaboration with dept. of Orthopaedics, Pt. B. D. S. PGIMS, Rohtak. Results: Four muscles screen identified 40% cases whereas five muscles screen including paraspinals increases the diagnostic value of electromyography to 70%.Interpretation & conclusion: Paraspinal muscles significantly increases diagnostic value of electromyography (EMG) in diagnosing lumbar prolapse intervertebral disc.
