this question is probably more appropriate for the ortho kids...... try that forum... but i'm curious why you're doing flexion exercises? my instinct would be to do extension/mckenzie stuff with a posterior disc protrusion...

hi gawaine it's a typical case of neurological claudication both from physical examination and M.R.I as i have mentioned.and pt has improved a lot from flexion exercises only.extension exercise will increase her symtoms.

actually, you wrote in your first post "M.R.I which was taken 8 months back shows L5-s1,L3-L4 posterion disc prolapse with pressure on thecal sac"........

but i read through some of your other post in the ortho forum... and i'm still confused...

you're using the term "neurologic claudication" to mean a limping due to neurologic complications, right? i see that extension would be bad for a stenosis patient, but i thought we were dealing with a patient with posterior disc prolapse... you should do extension exercises for posterior disc protrusion, correct? but not if there's stensosis involved.........

hmmm.... maybe this is why i'm a stroke junky and not an ortho kid...
