Brief Summary

1. 1.To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on electromyographic activity of trunk in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy
2. 2.To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on lumbar proprioception in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
3. 3.To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on trunk Range of motion (ROM) in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
4. 4.To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on pain intensity in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy. 5 -To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on functional disability in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.

Conditions

LUMBOSACRAL RADICULOPATHY; Chronic Low Back Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC ACTIVITY OF TRUNK MUSCLES

  6 Weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• lumbar proprioception

  6 Weeks

• Pain intensity level

  6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Kinetic control

EXPERIMENTAL

This group received kinetic control retraining protocol in addition to conventional physical therapy. ( TENS, hot backs, Ultrasound,Nerve mobilization ) three sessions per week for 6 weeks.

Other: kinetic control

Conventional physical therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group received only conventional physical therapy. ( TENS, hot backs, Ultrasound, Nerve mobilization ) three sessions per week for 6 weeks.

Other: Conventional physical therapy.

Interventions

kinetic control OTHER

Kinetic Control uses the Movement Control Rating System based on motor tests, the purpose of which is to identify the place and direction of uncontrolled movements and exercises to re-educate motor control

Kinetic control

Conventional physical therapy. OTHER

This group received only conventional physical therapy. ( TENS, hot backs, Ultrasound,Nerve mobilization ) three sessions per week for 6 weeks.

Conventional physical therapy

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 35 Years - 50 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Patients will be from both sexes.
• The age of patients will range from 35- 50 years old.
• The Body Mass Index (BMI) of patients will be less than 30Kg/m2
• All patients represent chronic low back pain (at least 3 months).
