MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611008161 A) filed by Pooja Bisht; Prof. Niraj Kumar; Dr. Sharda Sharma; Sandeep Kumar; Naresh Chandra Singh; and Surbhi Joshi, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Jan. 28, for 'combined modified reversed contralateral axial rotation position and primal-reflex release technique for treating lumbar radiculopathy.'
Inventor(s) include Pooja Bisht; Prof. Niraj Kumar; Dr. Sharda Sharma; Sandeep Kumar; Naresh Chandra Singh; and Surbhi Joshi.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention presents a combined physiotherapeutic method for treating lumbar radiculopathy integrating Modified Reversed Contralateral Axial Rotation Position (MRCARP) with Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT). MRCARP positions patients with gentle lateral trunk flexion and controlled lumbar rotation opposite the symptomatic side while supporting the pelvis on a therapeutic wedge for optimal foraminal decompression. The PRRT cluster protocol includes plantar reflex, sacroiliac-lumbar, hamstring, gastrocnemius, and eversion releases to downregulate protective reflex hyperactivity. The combined intervention is administered alongside conventional physiotherapy including moist heat application, core stabilization exercises, and stretching protocols over four weeks. Clinical studies demonstrate superior outcomes in nerve conduction velocity improvement, pain reduction (Visual Analog Scale), functional improvement (Oswestry Disability Index), and neural mobility enhancement (Straight Leg Raise test) compared to individual interventions or conventional therapy alone."
