![]() Ground electrode was placed between stimulating and recording electrodes. Reference electrode was placed 4 cm distally over 4 th metatarsophalangeal joint. The sites of stimulation for Sciatic nerves were ankle and at or below popliteal fossa and recording site were motor point of Extensor digitorum brevis and Abductor Hallucis respectively. Nerve conduction study was done on RMS EMG EP Mark-II. The selected Patients initially send for Nerve conduction investigation in the department of Physiology. Patients were selected on the basis of routine clinical examination and complaint with pain during walking. Method and materials: In this study we involved the participants either sexes aged >21 years treatment for LBP in the acute, sub-acute or chronic phases, with sciatica. The aim of the study was to observe the effect of nerve conduction velocity in sciatica subjects. Sciatica can result when the nerve roots in the lower spine are irritated or compressed. Although LBP is usually a self-limiting and benign condition that tends to improve spontaneously over time, a large variety of therapeutic interventions is available for treatment. Low-back pain (LBP) is a major health problem around the world and a major cause of medical expenses, absenteeism and disability. S: Background: Sciatic neuropathy is the one of the most common neuropathies of the lower extremities. ![]()
