简要总结
Radicular low back pain (RLBP) is a common and debilitating condition characterized by nerve root irritation or compression, often resulting in altered biomechanics, muscular imbalances, and postural deviations such as anterior pelvic tilt.
详细描述
Rehabilitation strategies commonly focus on improving flexibility, neuromuscular control, and nerve mobility. Among these, dynamic stretching and neural mobilization techniques have shown individual effectiveness, but limited evidence exists on their comparative or combined effects on pelvic alignment and functional outcomes, particularly in early middle-aged adults. Addressing this gap could support the development of more targeted, evidence-based rehabilitation protocols.

Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
时间窗: 12 Months
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a subjective but highly sensitive tool used for assessing pain intensity in clinical and research settings. It consists of a 10- centimeter horizontal line with endpoints labeled "0 = No pain" and "10 = Worst imaginable pain." Participants will be instructed to mark a point on the line that best reflects the intensity of their current pain, both at rest and during movement. The distance (in centimeters) from the "no pain" anchor to the marked point is then measured and recorded as the pain score.
Modified Schober Test
时间窗: 12 Months
It is a reliable and simple clinical method used to assess lumbar spine flexibility, particularly in the sagittal plane. It measures the extent of lumbar flexion by quantifying the increase in distance between two anatomical landmarks during forward bending. To perform the test, the examiner marks a point at the level of the posterior superior iliac spines (PSIS), which corresponds approximately to the L5 vertebra. A second mark is made 10 cm above and a third mark 5 cm below the initial point. The participant is then asked to bend forward as far as possible while keeping the knees straight.
