Summary

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

Conditions

• Lumbar Radiculopathy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
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).
