Summary

This study tested two different physical therapy techniques for people with leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back (lumbar radiculopathy). 72 adults were split into two groups: one did dynamic stretching plus standard physiotherapy, and the other did slider nerve exercises plus standard physiotherapy. Both groups received treatment four times a week for six weeks. The goal was to see which approach better reduced pain and improved daily function.
