Detailed description

To investigate the effect of thoracic mobilization on back and leg pain, functional disability and proprioception in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy. 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.
