A

Myofascial release

• HVLA

23
Q

ANTERIOR TARSAL TUNNEL SYNDROME is due to compression of what N.?

-Pain over dorsomedial aspect of foot and worse at rest

• Weakness of extensor digitorum brevis

25
Q

Three types of injury of Nerves

Neuropraxia (1st degree )
Axometesis (2nd Degree)
Neuromesis (3rd to 5th)

26
Q

With Neuroesis (3 to 5th degree) What occurs

A

Axon Damage plus CT coverings begin to damaged in successive order around the Nerve
-Cannot fully recover b/c loss to the CT

27
Q

Axometesis what occurs

A

Disruption to Axon itself (in the name), can have full recovery

28
Q

Neuropraxia

A
  • Damaged the Myelin sheath surrounding the Axon
