Effects of Myokinetic Stretching Technique With And Without Neural Flossing Technique In Lumbar Radiculopathy
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
This single-blinded randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the comparative effects of Myokinetic Stretching Technique (MST) alone versus MST combined with Neural Flossing Technique (NFT) in individuals with lumbar radiculopathy. A total of 22 participants aged 25-55 will be recruited through non-probability convenience sampling from rehabilitation clinics in Lahore and randomly assigned to two intervention groups

Conditions
Interventions
Myokinetic stretching
* Light aerobic activity (e.g., stationary cycling or brisk walking) to increase blood flow and prepare muscles for stretching• Myokinetic Stretching Technique (MST): - Target muscles: hamstrings, lumbar paraspinals, gluteals, hip flexors. - Involves both active (patient-initiated) and passive (therapist-assisted) stretches. * Sustained stretches held for 20-30 seconds with 3-5 repetitions. * Focus on length-tension balance, postural correction, and neuromuscular re- education. Progressive loading as tolerated
nyokinetic stretching with neural flossing technique
* Myokinetic stretching with Neural Flossing Technique (NFT): - * Target: sciatic nerve and related neural structures. - * Performed as oscillatory, controlled gliding movements ("sliders" and "tensioners"). * Techniques include supine straight leg raise with ankle dorsiflexion and cervical flexion/extension. - 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions, increasing intensity and duration based on tolerance. Aims to reduce neural tension and improve neurodynamic mobility.
