MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511133366 A) filed by Naresh Chandra Singh; Prof. Niraj Kumar; Sharda Sharma; Sandeep Kumar; Surbhi Joshi; and Pooja Bisht, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'spinal manual therapy combined with modified rigid taping for lumbar radiculopathy treatment.'
Inventor(s) include Naresh Chandra Singh; Prof. Niraj Kumar; Sharda Sharma; Sandeep Kumar; Surbhi Joshi; and Pooja Bisht.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a novel multimodal physiotherapy intervention combining Maitland's spinal mobilization techniques with modified rigid taping for treating lumbar radiculopathy. The method addresses nerve root compression through grade-specific posteroanterior vertebral pressures, rotational mobilizations, and longitudinal movements targeting the L5-S1 segment. Modified rigid taping applied from lumbar spine to gluteal region provides mechanical stabilization while allowing functional mobility. The intervention demonstrates efficacy in reducing pain intensity, improving lumbar range of motion, enhancing straight leg raise angles, and optimizing nerve conduction velocity. Clinical outcomes are measured using validated scales including Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, goniometric assessments, and nerve conduction studies. This comprehensive approach offers superior therapeutic outcomes compared to conventional physiotherapy alone, addressing both biomechanical dysfunction and neurophysiological impairment in patients aged 25-50 years with radiologically confirmed lumbar radiculopathy."
