Interventions

PROCEDUREGroup A (Active Comparator) 1. Mulligan's Spinal Mobilization with Leg Movement (SMWLM) 2.Lower Limb Neurodynamic Mobilization

This group will receive Mulligan's Spinal Mobilization at the Lumbar Spine Region (L4-L5 level) along with Lower extremity movement (3 repetitions, 3 sets) followed by Neurodynamic Mobilization which will include slump technique (3 repetitions, 1 set). This protocol is given to the patient for a total of 6 sessions (1 session per day).

PROCEDUREGroup B (Experimental) 1. Maitland's Lumbar Rotation Mobilization 2.Lower Limb Neurodynamic Mobilization

This group will receive Maitland's Lumbar Rotation Mobilization at the Lumbar Spine Region (L4-L5 level) along with Lower extremity movement (3 repetitions, 3 sets) followed by Neurodynamic Mobilization which will include slump technique (3 repetitions, 1 set).This protocol is given to the patient for a total of 6 sessions (1 session per day).
