lecture 1B: UQ neuroprovocation testing Flashcards
what is the Dynamic interplay b/t mechanical and physiological properties of nervous system
neuro dynamics
_____ nature of neural tissue allows for the transfer of mechanical stress throughout nervous system during trunk or limb movements
viscoelastic
nerve tissue responds to movements by
- gliding
- lengthening
- compression
what forms a loose sheath around the spinal cord
spinal dura
where are teh 3 tension sites where dura is tethered to bony canal
• C6
• T6
• L4
in a normal mechanism , are tension sits affected by motion of extremities
no they are not
Hard sided tunnels, like the carpal tunnel, ___ the probability of spatial compromise of nerve
increase
where is it more difficult for a nerve to move away from forces
where a nerve branches
when is a never more readily compressed
if it lies on a bone or passes thru fascia
are superficial or deeep nerves more vulnerable to external compression
superficial
what are the 3 sings of a (+) neuroprovocation testing (they all need to be positive)
- reproduction of pt symptoms
- distal movement causes pain
- test is different from L side to R side
what nerve is the ULTT 1 , 2 ,3 testing
• ULTT 1 (medial n. dominant)
• ULTT 2 (radial n. dominant)
• ULTT 3 (ulnar n. dominant)
what is a condition composed of neurologic dysfunction do to compressive pathology at multiple sites
double crush injuries
is double crush injuries more common in LE or UE
UE
do u treat proximal or distal cause first
proximal
do all (-) ULTT rule cervical radiculopathy
NOOOOO
