• Study Type: observational

Brief Summary

LDH is a common phenomenon that is often described in association with various pathological processes affecting the neuromuscular and locomotor systems. It is not only associated with pathology but it can also be observed in healthy individuals with no evidence of any dysfunction. Since LDH is observed in such a large percentage of healthy subjects, it is probably more appropriate to perceive it as a physiological phenomenon with silent clinical biomechanical changes

Study Population

A convenience sample of 180 adult males with a mean age of 40-50 years will be recruited to participate in the study. Inclusion criteria for the study groups (Group 1 and 2) LDH and root compression with no back or lower extremity symtoms. Inclusion criteria for the control group (Group 3) absence of LDH and root compression, no back or lower extremity symptoms. Exclusion criteria: Any previous history that would affect the alignment or the motion to lower extremity joints as fractures or surgery. Any fixed deformity True leg length discrepancy (\>5mm).Any medical condition affecting peripheral nerves as diabetes mellitus.Any neuromuscular dysfunction and vestibular disorder.Sacroiliac pain or dysfunction low back pain.Radicular or referred or radiating pain Previous lower extremity injury
