Summary:
The current study aims to determine the impact of augmented posterior oblique sling activation on lumbopelvic recruitment pattern and functional outcomes in patients with unilateral lumbosacral radiculopathy.

Primary Outcome Measures: surface EMG unit, The electromyographic pattern of activation of lumbopelvic musculature (sequence and level of activity) will be measured during prone hip extension testing using surface EMG unit., measurements will be done 3 days before the start of the treatment program and will be done after 3 days post intervention|Pressure biofeedback unit, it will be used to assess pelvic motion. the pressure sensor of the pressure biofeedback unit will be placed anteriorly between the patients' ilium and the testing table. The amount of pressure applied by the patient on the sensor at rest will be recorded then, the amount of pressure applied by patients at prone hip extension at 10 degrees will be recorded., measurements will be done 3 days before the start of the treatment program and will be done after 3 days post intervention
Secondary Outcome Measures: pressure algometry, The pressure algometry will used to measure pressure pain threshold in low back area and in sciatic valleix., measurements will be done 3 days before the start of the treatment program and will be done after 3 days post intervention|Arabic version of Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, back pain-related disability will be assessed using using the Arabic version of Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire.It is a 10-item self-reported questionnaire. The patient will be asked to answer every question and mark only the box that most closely describes his problem. Each question will be assessed on a six-point scale ranging from 0 (no disability) to 5 (major disability). The score is determined by adding each item score together. The overall score is out of 50 . Higher scores represent greater disability., measurements will be done 3 days before the start of the treatment program and will be done after 3 days post intervention|back pain intensity using the Visual analogue scale, The subject will be asked to make a handwritten mark on a 100 mm line (10cm). This line represents a continuum between no pain or discomfort (zero), and the worst pain (10) the patient could feel. Measurements from the starting point of the scale to the patients' marks will be recorded and interpreted as their pain intensity. Higher scores represent greater pain., measurements will be done 3 days before the start of the treatment program and will be done after 3 days post intervention
