Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A

Group A:

* Mulligan Mobilization Technique: Spinal Mobilization with Leg Movement (3 reps, 3 sets)
* Neurodynamic Mobilization (1 set, 3 reps)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Group A (Active Comparator) 1. Mulligan's Spinal Mobilization with Leg Movement (SMWLM) 2.Lower Limb Neurodynamic Mobilization

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

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).

Group B

Group B:

Maitland Mobilization Technique; Lumbar rotation mobilization (3sets,3reps) Neurodynamic mobilization(1set,3reps)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group B (Experimental) 1. Maitland's Lumbar Rotation Mobilization 2.Lower Limb Neurodynamic Mobilization

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

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).
