Abstract
Since September, 1998 We incorporated clinical path considerations when perfoeming lumber laminectomy. Early ambulation without brace and the cource of postoperative rehabilitation was shorter than conventional rehabilitation. Almost all patients were able to ambulate on the fourth postperative day and were discharged from our hospital on the 14 postoperative day. The average recovry rate of JOA scores did not differ between experimental and control groups. Clinical path is very useful for lumber laminectomy.
