Effect of Kinetic Control in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy.

-This study would answer the following question: Is there an effect of kinetic control retraining on electromyographic activity of trunk and lumbar proprioception in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy?

The aims of this study are:

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

Treatment and study plan

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

Conventional physical therapy.

Other

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