• 1 other identifier: thoracic mobilization in LR
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 34
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study will be to:

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

Conditions

Lumbosacral Radiculopathy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• functional disability

  we will use Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

  baseline

• pain level

  we will use Visual analogue scale (VAS)

  baseline

• lumbar proprioception

  we will use The Biodex System 3 pro isokinetic dynamometer

  baseline
