INTRODUCTION: Piriformis syndrome is a neuromuscular disorder that occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated by the piriformis muscle. This may cause pain, tingling and numbness in the buttocks and along sciatic nerve. Nerve flossing technique is a neurodynamic technique, which moves the nerve through the tissues proximally and distally to the maximum possible extend by moving every joint and body part that the nerve crosses. Standard nerve conduction studies for evaluation of the sciatic nerve includes testing the ipsilateral common fibular and tibial motor nerve conduction and minimum F-wave latencies. METHODS: 10 Male and female subjects of age 20 to 30 were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria from Dolphin (P.G) Institute of biomedical and natural sciences, Dehradun. All subjects were assessed for piriformis syndrome. RESULTS: The results of the paired sample t-test showed statistically significant difference between the values of pre and post data in posterior tibial nerve when stimulated at ankle and popliteal fossa. Meanwhile, no statistically significant difference was seen in the parameters in the common peroneal nerve when stimulated at ankle, head of fibula and popliteal fossa. CONCLUSION: The study depicts that the neural flossing techniques have significant effects on piriformis syndrome and it was concluded that F-waves can show significant results in prognostic evaluation of the peripheral compressive neuritis of the nerve in piriformis syndrome.
