Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* To investigate the effect of thoracic mobilization on back and leg pain in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
* To investigate the effect of thoracic mobilization on functional disability in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
* To investigate the effect of thoracic mobilization on proprioception in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1-Thirty four patients of both sexes with unilateral chronic lumbar radiculopathy at L4-L5 or/ and L5-S1 levels will participate in this study. The patients will be diagnosed as having lumbar radiculopathy based on careful clinical examination by neurologist . The diagnosis will be confirmed by CT scan or MRI.
Patients will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University and private clinics. Patients in this study will be randomly divided into two groups.
* Group (I) which will include 17 patients who will receive manual mobilization exercises in addition to selected physical therapy .
* Group (II) which will include 17 patients who will receive selected physical therapy.
The treatment will conducted 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks.
