“…Any degree of impairment can change neuromuscular control, which can then cause injury or lower functional levels. Identification of altered neuromuscular control will be aided by an understanding of how injury affects proprioception, dynamic joint stability, postural control, and the sensorimotor system [ 17 ]. In healthy young people, the study examines the biomechanical control systems that underlie body sway during unperturbed upright standing.…”

This case study examines the treatment journey of a 19-year-old male who presented with bilateral buttock pain, lower limb weakness, and instability caused by piriformis syndrome and asymptomatic Prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD) herniation. The intervention strategy was guided by clinical assessments, including neurological and musculoskeletal evaluations, as well as confirmatory magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. The patient's treatment plan adopted a comprehensive approach that incorporated neuromuscular training and neurodynamic solutions. The former focused on strengthening the core and lower limb muscles to correct biomechanical imbalances associated with piriformis syndrome. Concurrently, neurodynamic solutions, such as targeted stretching and mobilization exercises, were employed to alleviate sciatic nerve compression related to asymptomatic PIVD. The results demonstrated significant improvement in symptoms, highlighting the effectiveness of the individualized rehabilitation program. This case report underscores the success of a multifaceted approach in addressing the intricate interaction between muscular and neural components in piriformis syndrome and asymptomatic PIVD. However, further research is necessary to validate the broader applicability of this combined therapeutic strategy.
