Overview
This study is a randomized control trial and the purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effects of Maitland's rotation mobilization and Mulligan's spinal mobilization with leg movement (SMWLM) on lumbar radiculopathy patients.
Detailed description
This study aims to combine the two separately established treatments techniques of mobilizations on patients with lumbar radiculopathy to find out which of the two has long lasting effects on:
1. Pain 2. Range of motion 3. Functional mobility
Interventions
- Procedure Group A (Active Comparator) 1. Mulligan's Spinal Mobilization with Leg Movement (SMWLM) 2.Lower Limb Neurodynamic Mobilization
This group will receive Mulligan's Spinal Mobilization at the Lumbar Spine Region (L4-L5 level) along with Lower extremity movement (3 repetitions, 3 sets) followed by Neurodynamic Mobilization which will include slump technique (3 repetitions, 1 set). This protocol is given to the patient for a total of 6 sessions (1 session per day). - Procedure Group B (Experimental) 1. Maitland's Lumbar Rotation Mobilization 2.Lower Limb Neurodynamic Mobilization
This group will receive Maitland's Lumbar Rotation Mobilization at the Lumbar Spine Region (L4-L5 level) along with Lower extremity movement (3 repetitions, 3 sets) followed by Neurodynamic Mobilization which will include slump technique (3 repetitions, 1 set).This protocol is given to the patient for a total of 6 sessions (1 session per day).
Primary outcome measures
- Lumbar Radiculopathy Pain [Time frame: This protocol is given to the patient for a total of 6 sessions. NPRS is taken at the 1st, 3rd and 6th sessions respectively during the course of the treatment protocol.]
- Range of Motion [Time frame: This protocol is given to the patient for a total of 6 sessions. SLR Range is taken at the 1st, 3rd and 6th sessions respectively during the course of the treatment protocol.]
- Functional Status [Time frame: This protocol is given to the patient for a total of 6 sessions. ODI Score is taken at the 1st, 3rd and 6th sessions respectively during the course of the treatment protocol.]
Eligibility criteria
