[The assessment of the lumbago patient in the work environment: the diagnostic aspects and forensic medical reflections]. / La valutazione del soggetto lombalgico in ambito lavorativo: aspetti diagnostici e riflessi medico legali.

ABSTRACT

In occupational health the assessment of subjects suffering from lumbago in the case of job fitness certificates is complicated not only because of the obvious possibility of the influence of simulation, but also because of the poor specificity of diagnostic possibilities for spinal disorders. An assessment was made of the reliability of traditional clinical procedures and the most common protocols and the possibility of using them in this context.
