About

-This study would answer the following question: Is there an effect of kinetic control retraining on electromyographic activity of trunk and lumbar proprioception in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy?

The aims of this study are:

1. To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on electromyographic activity of trunk in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy
2. To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on lumbar proprioception in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
3. To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on trunk Range of motion (ROM) in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.
4. To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on pain intensity in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy. 5 -To investigate the effect of kinetic control retraining on functional disability in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.

Enrollment: 50 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 35 to 50 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Patients will be from both sexes.
2. The age of patients will range from 35- 50 years old.
3. The Body Mass Index (BMI) of patients will be less than 30Kg/m2
4. All patients represent chronic low back pain (at least 3 months).
5. Patients with unilateral lumbosacral radiculopathy (L4-5, L5-S1) due to Posterolateral disc prolapse.
6. Patients have been diagnosed by MRI.
