Experimental: SMWLM along with neural flossing technique
Spinal Mobilization with Leg Movement (SMWLM) and Neural Flossing are highly effective, conservative physical therapy approaches for managing lumbar radiculopathy (sciatica).
They aim to reduce nerve root compression, disperse neural edema, and restore the healthy gliding of nerves within their surrounding tissues
|
The participant will be positioned in side-lying with limb where the pain radiated to on top.
Therapist 1 will stand at the participant's ventral side and apply transverse glide with the thumb on the involved lumbar spinous process.
Therapist 2 will then abduct the affected leg by 10° and take the limb gently into hip flexion with knee extended, while the glide will be sustained continuously by therapist 1.
The entire motion during mobilization will be maintained pain-free.

Aktiver Komparator: SMWLM without neural flossing technique
Spinal Mobilization with Leg Movement (SMWLM) is a manual therapy technique developed by Brian Mulligan to treat lumbar radiculopathy.
It combines sustained gliding pressure on the lumbar spine with passive or active straight leg raises to alleviate nerve compression, reduce pain, and restore mobility

Therapist 2 will then abduct the affected leg by 10° and take the limb gently into hip flexion with knee extended, while the glide will be sustained continuously by therapist 1.
The entire motion during mobilization will be maintained pain-free.
The procedure will be repeated three times as per Mulligans rule of 3, post which the SLR test and NPRS will be re-measured

|---|---|---|
|
Numeric Pain Rating Scale for Pain
Zeitfenster: upto 4 weeks
|
It is a widely used subjective measure for assessing pain intensity, where patients rate their pain on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
It has high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.92) and strong construct validity for acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions
|
upto 4 weeks
|
|
Goniometer for ROM
Zeitfenster: Upto 4 weeks
|
It is a clinical instrument used to measure joint range of motion in degrees, commonly applied in musculoskeletal assessments.
It demonstrates excellent intra-rater (ICC = 0.95) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.89), with strong validity when compared with digital motion analysis tools
|
Upto 4 weeks
|
|
Modfied Oswestry Disability Index for disability
Zeitfenster: Upto 4 weeks
|
It is a self-reported questionnaire used to assess disability due to low back pain, covering aspects such as pain, mobility, and daily activities.
It is a highly valid tool (construct validity r = 0.75) with excellent reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.90, ICC = 0.91), making it one of the most commonly used functional outcome measures in spine-related research

Upto 4 weeks
