''Urustambha'' resembles ''vata'' disorder because of clinical picture of painful weakness of pelvic girdle and lower extremities muscles. However, it should not be treated as ''vatic'' disorder as basically it is caused by vitiation of ''kapha'' and ''ama'' formation leading to obstruction of ''vata''.
