Effect of Sciatic Nerve Neurodynamic Sliding on Pain, Disability, and Balance in Patients With Lumbar Radiculopathy
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Lumbar Radiculopathy
In brief
This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of sciatic nerve slider mobilization on pain intensity. Also, to evaluate the impact of sciatic nerve mobilization on functional disability, and to determine the influence of sciatic nerve slider neurodynamics on functional balance performance.

Who can join
Age: 25 and older, up to 45. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Chronic unilateral lumbar painful radiculopathy (duration ranged from 3 to 18 months).
- During the evaluation session, repeated lumbar movements did not improve or worsen lower extremity symptoms.
- Positive straight leg raise (SLR) response. A positive SLR test was defined as the presence of both of these findings: (1) the test reproduced the patient's symptoms and (2) the symptoms decreased with the ankle plantar flexion component of the test.
- Unilateral Pain radiating below the knee, with leg pain equal to or more severe than the accompanying back pain.
- The presence of paresthesia such as pins and needles or numbness in the affected limb, along with neurological deficits-whether motor, sensory, or reflex-that corresponded to the dermatome or myotome of the affected nerve root.
You may not qualify if…
- Systemic diseases such as autoimmune and metabolic diseases.
- Previous Lumbar Spine surgery.
- Lumbar spine stenosis.
- Spinal deformity.
- Spinal fracture.
- Bilateral lower extremity symptoms.
- Steroid injection or use of anti-inflammatory medications within two to four weeks prior to study commencement.
