Brief summary
to investigate The Efficacy of three-dimensional lumbar myofascial release with motor control training on back perception and pain in lumbar radiculopathy Patients with lumbar radiculopathy demonstrate impairments in function and range of motion to deficits in patient's quality of life.
Detailed description
PURPOSE: to investigate The Efficacy of three-dimensional lumbar myofascial release with motor control training on back perception and pain in lumbar radiculopathy Patients with lumbar radiculopathy demonstrate impairments in function and range of motion to deficits in patient's quality of life. HYPOTHESES: It will be hypothesized that there will be no statically Effect of three dimensional lumbar myofascial release with motor control training on back perception and pain in lumbar radiculopathy RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there an Effect of three-dimensional lumbar myofascial release with motor control training on back perception and pain in lumbar radiculopathy
Interventions
Three-dimensional (3D) MFR is a novel approach toward reducing fascial restrictions. It recognizes that fascia exists not only in a linear plane but also in complex multidirectional networks throughout the body.
conventional treatment, including selected physical therapy, flexibility exercise for the back, static back and abdomen exercises, and electrotherapy

Study design
Intervention model description
The patients were randomly divided into two equal groups; Study group (16 patients): received three dimensional lumbar myofascial release with motor control training, and conventional treatment. Control group (16 patients): received conventional treatment.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire | four weeks | The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) has been found to possess adequate psychometric properties in low back pain (LBP) patients worldwide |
| Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire | four weeks | The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) a patient-completed questionnaire which gives a subjective percentage score of level of function (disability) in activities of daily living in those rehabilitating from low back pain |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pressure pain algometer | four weeks | Algometers are designed to quantify and document levels of tenderness via pressure pain threshold measurement and pain sensitivity via pressure pain tolerance measurement. |
| visual analog scale | four weeks | The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, used to record patients' pain progression, or compare pain severity between patients with similar conditions |
