Intro to Neurodynamics and Mobilization of the Nervous System (2)

Question 1

tension on structure that could only be neural

Answer 1

distal movments

Question 2

tension creates a comparable sign

Answer 2

clinically relevant sign

Question 3

neurodynamic problem

Answer 3

are you convinced that what your patient feels is b/c of tension or compression of the neural system

is what they’re feeling a comparable or clinically relevant sign

must have a yes for both

Question 4

movement with and without tension

Answer 4

sliding

tension

Question 5

sliding –> movement

Answer 5

isometric –> no tension

flossing

less aggressive

Question 6

tension

Answer 6

oscillate = tension on - tension off

sustained = tension on

more aggressive

Question 7

whos doing the moving

Answer 7

active pt controlled

passive PT controlled

Question 8

active pt controlled

Answer 8

less aggressive

fxnal or in task

Question 9

passive PT controlled

Answer 9

more aggressive

Question 10

hamstring stretch

Answer 10

pt controls force

generally hold 30 sec

mild to moderate pull

Question 11

what is the tension was on the tibial-sciatic nerve complex

Answer 11

only movement is knee ext

this is a sustained stretch

fairly aggressive nn stretch

Question 12

to make an intervention less aggressive

Answer 12

sustained –> oscillate

tension –> slider

Question 13

documentation

Answer 13

baseline sxs

then through every stage of the slump test

note where the sxs change

Question 14

stages of the slump test

Answer 14

slump

knee extension

PF

inversion

cervical extension

Question 15

neural mobilization techniques

Answer 15

trunk

UE

LE

Question 16

trunk –> techniques

Answer 16

slump test

Question 17

UE –> techniques

Answer 17

like the SLR of the LE’s

ULTT 1

ULTT 2

ULTT 3

ULTT 4

Question 18

ULTT 1

Answer 18

median N dominant

Question 19

ULTT 2

Answer 19

median N dominant

Question 20

ULTT 3

Answer 20

radial N dominant

Question 21

ULTT 4

Answer 21

ulnar N dominant

Question 22

LE –> techniques

Answer 22

SLR –> general sciatic nerve stretch

prone knee ned (PKB or PKF) –> general test for femoral N

Question 23

SLR –> general sciatic nerve stretch

Answer 23

w/ bias for tibial N

w/ bias for sural N

w/ bias for common peroneal nerve

Question 24

the position of the test is the same as

Answer 24

position for tx

Question 25

how could tx be done

Answer 25

using a combination of maintained stretch and flossing

Question 26

maintained stretch

Answer 26

aka tensioner

most aggressive

Question 27

flossing

Answer 27

aka slider

less aggressive

most comfortable

Question 28

flossing can still be

Answer 28

aggressive

be conservative in # of reps

2-4 at most, then asses results next tx

Question 29

tensioner

Answer 29

stretch proximal and distal components simultaneously

puts nerve on a maximum stretch

Question 30

slider

Answer 30

release one end while maintaining tension on other end and follow by reversing the tensioned and free ends

allows the nerve to slide w/in soft tissue surrounding tissue
