简要总结
This study compares between neurodynamic mobilization and stretching exercises in treatment of chronic dicogenic sciatica
详细描述
This study was conducted at the outpatient clinics, faculty of physical Therapy, Kafrelsheikh University to compare between the effects of slider, tensioner neurodynamic mobilization techniques and stretching exercises on pain, Range of motion (ROM) and functional disability for patients with chronic discogenic sciatica.
Design of the study:
A pre-test post-test three-armed comparative study design was used for comparison between the effects of slider, tensioner neurodynamic mobilization techniques and stretching exercises for patients with chronic discogenic sciatica.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in pain intensity measurements using visual analogue scale
时间窗: Before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment.
A scale form 0 to 10 points, a less score means improvement.
Change in ankle dorsiflexion range of motion measurement using universal goniometer.
时间窗: Before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment.
the therapist measures it for patients, an increasing value means improvement.
Change in functional disability measurement using the oswestry disability index.
时间窗: Before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment.
An index indicating disability level, a less score indicates improvement.
Change in hip flexion range of motion measurement using universal goniometer.
时间窗: Before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment.
the therapist measures it for patients, an increasing value means improvement.
Change in lumbar flexion range of motion measurement using universal goniometer.
时间窗: Before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment.
the therapist measures it for patients, an increasing value means improvement.
Change in knee extension range of motion measurement using universal goniometer.
时间窗: Before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment.
the therapist measures it for patients, an increasing value means improvement.
