Effect of Sciatic Nerve Neurodynamic Sliding on Pain, Disability, and Balance in Patients With Lumbar Radiculopathy
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
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.

Conditions
Interventions
Selected conventional physical therapy program
The program will include: 1- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) will be applied at Lumbosacral area, with pulse frequency of 100 Hz for 15 minutes. 2\) Manual therapy intervention: Myofascial release will be performed on low back muscles and gluteus, piriformis, hamstring, and calf of the affected lower extremity applied for 20 minutes. Following side posture positional distraction, the wedge pillow will be removed and the patient is maintained in the same position. The physical therapist performed passive spinal rotation mobilization. Finally, high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) manipulation will be applied from the same position. 3\) Core stability exercises: They are consisted of of side plank on knee or ankle on both sides, and clamshell exercise. The clamshell exercise consists of three sets of ten repetitions. Side plank will be performed three times in a static manner for 10-20 seconds or up to patient failure.
Sciatic nerve slider mobilization
Mobilization will be applied from supine position, alternating hip flexion with knee extension and dorsiflexion, and knee flexion with plantar flexion, performed three times for 1 minute straight leg raising technique rhythmically
