Effects of Lower Extremity Neural Mobilization on Gait Biomechanics and Spinal Alignment

This randomized single-blinded trial aimed to compare the immediate effects of lower extremity neural slider and neural tensioner exercises on gait parameters and spinal alignment in sedentary young adults. Sixty healthy sedentary individuals aged 18-30 years were randomly assigned to receive either a neural slider or neural tensioner intervention. Spatiotemporal gait parameters were assessed using a validated smartphone-based gait analysis application, and spinal alignment angles were measured with a bubble inclinometer before and immediately after a single exercise session. The primary outcome was the acute change in gait-related parameters, and secondary outcomes included changes in spinal alignment and pelvic inclination angles.
