Brief Summary
This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the neuromuscular characteristics of the gastrocnemius muscles in individuals with chronic lumbar radiculopathy using tensiomyography (TMG). By analyzing parameters such as muscle contraction time, displacement, and relaxation time, the study seeks to understand potential alterations in muscle properties that may contribute to functional limitations in this patient population. Findings from this research may provide valuable insights into the role of gastrocnemius muscles in neuromuscular dysfunction and inform tailored rehabilitation strategies.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18-55 years. * Clinical diagnosis of chronic lumbar radiculopathy confirmed by MRI and clinical examination. * Presence of symptoms for more than 12 weeks. * One limb is affected by the condition, while the other limb is unaffected and will serve as the control. Exclusion Criteria: * ● Acute lumbar radiculopathy (symptoms less than 12 weeks). * History of lower limb surgery or severe musculoskeletal disorders affecting the plantar flexor muscles. * Neurological disorders other than lumbar radiculopathy (e.g., peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis). * Severe comorbid conditions that might interfere with the study (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, severe cardiovascular disease). * Pregnant or breastfeeding women. * Participation in another clinical trial within the last 30 days. * Use of medications that could affect muscle function (e.g., corticosteroids, muscle relaxants).
