Abstract
with spinally referred leg pain. Disability and psychosocial factorswere not significantly different at baseline between the 3 sub-groups, and were not correlated with nerve excursion. Conclusion(s): A 3× 1minute SLR tensioner technique in individuals with spinally referred leg pain of greater than 3 months duration had no immediate effects on sciatic nerve excursion during a modified SLR. Future research may concentrate on measuring nerve strain using sono-elastography, which is currently in its infancy. Ideally nerve excursion in individuals with spinally referred leg pain would be analysed at the nerve root; MRI may be used to assess this in future studies. Implications:Nochanges to nerve excursionoccur immediately after a 3× 1minute SLR treatment dose in individuals with spinally referred leg pain. This may reflect the individual differences in nerve compliance, or possible restriction at the nerve root.
