Postoperative neurological outcomes: between-group difference and change over time
neurological impairments
CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY
There was no difference in postoperative neurological outcomes between SPT and SA at follow-up (p > 0.07), except that significantly more patients in the SA group had recovered arm reflexes at one-year follow-up (p = 0.017) (Table Prevalence of persistent neurological impairments and neurological recovery at one- and two-year follow-up in participants with cervical radiculopathy who underwent surgery and postoperative rehabilitation.Results are presented with number (n) and percentage (%) as n (%). Persistent neurological impairments includes patients presenting at least one abnormal response, and neurological recovery includes patients with preoperative impairment presenting normal neurology at follow-up.
