In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purposes of the study are: 1. To measure differences in Sciatic nerve (SN) stiffness using shear-wave elastography (SWE) during two movement sequences of the lower limb neurodynamic test (LLNT) in low back pain with sciatica. 2. To measure differences in Sciatic nerve stiffness using shear-wave elastography during two movement sequences of the lower limb neurodynamic test in control group. 3. To compare difference in Sciatic nerve stiffness using shear-wave elastography during two movement sequences of the lower limb neurodynamic test between low back pain patients with sciatica and control group.
