Intervention model description: Prallel Group Randomized Control Trial
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: This study will be a Randomized Control Trial in which Both Genders with Age between 20 to 50 Years who had diagnosed with lumbar radiculopathy will be recriuted in to two groups.group A will be recieving spinal mobilzation with leg movement along with TENS \& hot pack.whie group B will be given only spinal mobilization with TENS \& hot pack.before and after the introduction of interventions pain,disabaility,speed of gait,cadence and SLR will be checked before and after the treatment

Detailed description: Lumbar Radiculopathy is a medical condition that occurs when one or more nerve roots in the spinal cord are compressed or damaged, leading to pain, weakness, numbness or tingling sensations in the affected area of the body. This condition can be caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, Degenerative disc disease, tumors and infections.This study will be a Randomized Control Trial.The study will be conducted in district Swabi. We will recruit the data from NCS University Rehabilitation Centre Swabi.oswestry disbaility index will be given at the start of study and NPRS to check their pain and disbaility levels.SMWLM will be given to experimental group.Participants will be given Hot pack for 15 minutes, TENS for 10 minutes.The patient receives a set of three repetitions, then three sets of six repetitions, with a 30-second break in between each set of treatments. In this session, a progression was also provided as free SLR overpressure. A total of 6 sessions will be given thrice a week on alternate days for 2 consecutive weeks. The treatment will be given with 5 repetitions of SMWLM and 10 repetitions of spinal mobilization with three sets of transverse glide. Total time duration of the treatment will be around 25-35 minutes§ Pre assessment will be conducted at baseline followed by intervention for 3 days per week for 6 consecutive weeks.Final assessment will be conducted at the end of 6 weeks of intervention
