Comparison between Mulligan Traction Leg Raise versus Slumps Stretching on Pain, Passive Leg Raise, and Functional Disability in Lumbar Radiculopathy
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Lumbar spine disorders rank 5th among the diseases categories with 37% of cost a direct case of physical therapy services. So the intervention requires a beneficial, safer, and cost effective treatment. Conservative treatment for sciatica aims at pain reduction but improving the range of SLR has a beneficial effect in restoring normal movement and reduces the impairments due to low back dysfunction. The purpose of the study is compare the effectiveness of mulligan traction leg raise and slumps stretching with conventional therapy so as to determine which technique is better in treating the dysfunction due to lumbar radiculopathy. An experimental study was carried on 40 lumbar radiculopathy patients by simple random sampling. They were randomly assigned into 2 groups of 20 each, Group A was given mulligan traction leg raise and Group B was given slumps stretching with conventional treatment in both the groups for 6 consecutive days. Outcome measures were NRS, passive SLR, oswestry disability index. Result concluded that Mulligan traction leg raise and slumps stretching both are equally effective in reducing pain and functional disability but Slumps stretching is more effective neural mobilization in increasing SLR angle than mulligan traction leg raise.
