Also diminished and absent deep tendon reflexes were noted with reduced strength, SLR 50 bilaterally. motor polyneuropathy with lumbar radiculopathy. Lumbar radiculopathy was confirmed by MRI of lumbar spine. Polyneuropathy was confirmed by Nerve Conduction Velocity. Lab. Conformation of decreased serum copper in patients body reflecting the cause of sensory motor polyneuropathy. Physical therapy intervention included range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, sensory retraining, balance and co-ordination training strategies, and Electrical Muscle stimulation. A significant effect of the 20 weeks of intensive physiotherapeutic interventionreflected on the co-ordination, balance, gait, ADLs, muscle strength, muscle re-education, and functional independence of the patient.
