A New Perspective on Lumbar Disc Herniation Management Using Prone Knee Extension

This case highlights the potential effectiveness of integrating the PKE exercise into the management of LDH. The approach facilitated pain relief, improved health status, and enhanced functional capacity, suggesting that it could serve as a valuable nonsurgical intervention in clinical practice. However, as the findings are preliminary, further research is needed to validate these results.

Abstract

This case highlights the potential effectiveness of integrating the PKE exercise into the management of LDH. The approach facilitated pain relief, improved health status, and enhanced functional capacity, suggesting that it could serve as a valuable nonsurgical intervention in clinical practice. However, as the findings are preliminary, further research is needed to validate these results.
