Abstract
Patient-reported recovery from motor deficits after lumbar disk herniation occurs for 75% of patients over 2 years, but recovery from sensory deficits over this time frame occurs in only 53% of patients. A positive straight-leg raise test and female gender may predict poor recovery from motor and sensory deficits, respectively.
