Slider Neurodynamic Mobilisation Versus Mulligan Bent Leg Raise Technique on Chronic Discogenic Sciatica A Comparative Study

For patients with discogenic sciatica, slider neurodynamic mobilisation technique produces sliding movement of the neural tissue in relation to its adjacent structures, which distributes tension and compression along the nervous system instead of one specific region is very effective in reducing symptoms and limitations. MBLR is a useful method for releasing adhesions between the gluteus maximus, hamstring, and sciatic nerve. As a result, the sciatic nerve will be mobilized relative to these muscles without the nerve being stretched which have significant clinical outcomes regarding pain alleviation and restoring sciatic nerve mobility.

After reviewing the available previous published studies, it is found that there is no previous study which directly compared both techniques in case of chronic discogenic sciatica, although both techniques are found to induce good clinical outcomes when studied separately , so we will conduct this study to examine the superiority of effectiveness of them.
