Detailed Description

This study was conducted to answer the following question:

Is there is an effect of Maitland mobilization on gait kinetic and kinematic changes in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy?

Purpose of the study:

This study was conducted to

  • Investigate the effect of Maitland mobilization on gait kinetic and kinematic changes in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
  • Investigate the effect of Maitland mobilization on electromyographic activity of trunk muscles in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
  • Investigate the effect of Maitland mobilization on pain in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
  • Investigate the effect of Maitland mobilization disability in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
