Effects of Myokinetic Stretching Technique With And Without Neural Flossing Technique In Lumbar Radiculopathy

4 de junio de 2026 actualizado por: Riphah International University

Effects of Myokinetic Stretching Technique With And Without Neural Flossing Technique On Pain, Flexibility, And Mobility In Patients With Lumbar Radiculopathy

This single-blinded randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the comparative effects of Myokinetic Stretching Technique (MST) alone versus MST combined with Neural Flossing Technique (NFT) in individuals with lumbar radiculopathy. A total of 22 participants aged 25-55 will be recruited through non-probability convenience sampling from rehabilitation clinics in Lahore and randomly assigned to two intervention groups

Descripción detallada

This single-blinded randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the comparative effects of Myokinetic Stretching Technique (MST) alone versus MST combined with Neural Flossing Technique (NFT) in individuals with lumbar radiculopathy. A total of 22 participants aged 25-55 will be recruited through non-probability convenience sampling from rehabilitation clinics in Lahore and randomly assigned to two intervention groups. Both groups will receive treatment thrice weekly for six weeks. Outcome measures include pain intensity (NPRS), functional disability (ODI), flexibility (Sit and Reach Test, Modified Schober Test), and trunk strength (Functional Trunk Strength Tests). Data will be analyzed using SPSS v24, with appropriate statistical tests applied based on data distribution.

Grupo de participantes/brazo
Intervención / Tratamiento
Experimental: conventional
heating pad and Range of motion
  • Light aerobic activity (e.g., stationary cycling or brisk walking) to increase blood flow and prepare muscles for stretching• Myokinetic Stretching Technique (MST): - Target muscles: hamstrings, lumbar paraspinals, gluteals, hip flexors. - Involves both active (patient-initiated) and passive (therapist-assisted) stretches.
  • Sustained stretches held for 20-30 seconds with 3-5 repetitions.
  • Focus on length-tension balance, postural correction, and neuromuscular re- education. Progressive loading as tolerated
  • Myokinetic stretching with Neural Flossing Technique (NFT): -
  • Target: sciatic nerve and related neural structures. -
  • Performed as oscillatory, controlled gliding movements ("sliders" and "tensioners").
  • Techniques include supine straight leg raise with ankle dorsiflexion and cervical flexion/extension. - 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions, increasing intensity and duration based on tolerance. Aims to reduce neural tension and improve neurodynamic mobility.

¿Qué mide el estudio?

Medidas de resultado primarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Periodo de tiempo: baseline to 4 week
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) measures a patient's self-reported pain intensity on a scale from 0 to 10. A score of 0 indicates no pain, 1-3 is mild, 4-6 is moderate, and 7-10 represents severe pain.
baseline to 4 week
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)
Periodo de tiempo: baseline to 4 week
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is used to assess the impact of low back pain on a patient'sADLs. It includes 10 sections, 0 to 5each, with the total score expressed as a percentage. The results categorize disability from minimal (0-20%) to bed-bound or exaggerated symptoms (81-100%), helping quantify the degree of functional limitation
baseline to 4 week
Sit and Reach Test
Periodo de tiempo: baseline to 4 week
The Sit and Reach Test is used to assess the flexibility of the hamstrings and lower back. The patient sits with legs extended and reaches forward along a marked measuring line. Scores above 10 cm indicate excellent flexibility, 0-10 cm is average, and negative values suggest poor flexibility, often linked to hamstring tightness or lumbar dysfunction.
baseline to 4 week
Muscle Strength Assessment: Functional Trunk Strength Tests
Periodo de tiempo: baseline to 4 week
Functional Trunk Strength Tests assess the strength and endurance of lumbar flexors and extensors through movements like sit-ups or back extensions. The patient performs prone chest raises. Greater repetitions or longer hold times indicate better trunk strength and endurance, while early fatigue suggests weakness.
baseline to 4 week
Modified Schober Test
Periodo de tiempo: baseline to 4 week
The Modified Schober Test assesses lumbar spine flexibility during forward bending by measuring the increase in distance between marked points on the lower back. An increase of ≥5 cm indicates normal lumbar mobility, while <5 cm suggests restricted flexion.
baseline to 4 week
