Brief Summary

to investigate The Efficacy of three-dimensional lumbar myofascial release with motor control training on back perception and pain in lumbar radiculopathy Patients with lumbar radiculopathy demonstrate impairments in function and range of motion to deficits in patient's quality of life.

Conditions

Lumbar Radiculopathy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire

  The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) has been found to possess adequate psychometric properties in low back pain (LBP) patients worldwide

  four weeks

• Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire

  The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) a patient-completed questionnaire which gives a subjective percentage score of level of function (disability) in activities of daily living in those rehabilitating from low back pain

  four weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• pressure pain algometer

  four weeks

• visual analog scale

  four weeks

Study Arms (2)

Interventions

three dimensional lumbar myofascial release OTHER

Three-dimensional (3D) MFR is a novel approach toward reducing fascial restrictions. It recognizes that fascia exists not only in a linear plane but also in complex multidirectional networks throughout the body.

Also known as: (3D) MFR
