Biodex Balance System™ SDquestionnaires and inventories
Biodex Balance System™ SD: Postural stability index values (anteroposterior, mediolateral and overall) will be measured for static and dynamic conditions.
questionnaires and inventories: questionnaires and inventories related to primary end secondary outcomes will be applied and physical examination will be performed.
Study summary
The aim of this study is to answer the questions below;
1. Is there a difference between patients with lumbar radiculopathy suffering from radicular pain and healthy subjects in terms of static and dynamic postural stability?
2. Is there a relationship between postural stability and the neuropathic characteristics of radicular pain?

Inclusion Criteria:
* Having radicular pain due to lumbar disc herniation.
* Root compression on the dominant side on imaging.
* Root compression at no more than two levels.
* Radicular pain with at least 3 points on a numerical rating scale.
Exclusion Criteria:
* No radicular pain despite root compression on imaging.
* Midline disc herniation or root compression on the nondominant side.
* Radicular pain on the non-dominant side.
* Treatment with neuropathic pain medication or psychotropic medication.
* Loss of muscle strength on clinical examination.
* Evidence of lower extremity atrophy, joint contractures, shortening of limbs, or similar disabilities.
* Presence of vision loss, vestibular or neurological disorders that may cause balance disorders.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Dynamic Postural Stability — Once, at baseline Postural Stability Test will be performed via Biodex Balance System. This test assesses the patient's ability to maintain the center position (zero point) on a moving balance platform. The test protocol is performed with the following parameters: Duration: 20 seconds, Stability Level: 8, and Stance: two legs. Patients will complete a 1-minute pre-test trial to get used to the device. Then the test will be performed with 3 trials. The patient's performance will be noted as the overall stability index. A high stability index value indicates poor balance and stability.
Static Postural Stability — Once, at baseline Postural Stability Test will be performed via Biodex Balance System. This test assesses the patient's ability to maintain the center position (zero point) on a stable platform. The test protocol is performed with the following parameters: Duration: 20 seconds, Stability Level: Static, and Stance: both legs, alternating. Patients will complete a 1-minute pre-test trial to get used to the device. Then the test will be performed with 3 trials. The patient's performance will be noted as the overall stability index. A high stability index value indicates poor balance and stability.
