- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to verify, through a randomized controlled trial, theeffectiveness of a three-week program of neurodynamic techniques on pain,disability and changes in NCS, H-Reflex, H:M ratio in individuals with low backpain.
Firstaim is to investigate the effect of two Neurodynamic techniques on pain anddisability in patients with LBP. The two techniques tested in this study are“Slump†Neurodynamic Technique and “Straight Leg Raise†Neurodynamic Technique.
Secondaim is to determine whether this type of physiotherapy treatment (neurodynamictechniques) for individuals with lowback pain can bring some neurophysiological changes in the nerves which can bequantified in the electrophysiological studies like NCS, H-reflex and H;Mratio, compared to conventional physical therapy treatment.
