In the March 2009 Journal of Orthopaedic Sports and Physical Therapy, Dr. Coppieters demonstrated that specific movement of the nerve caused different lengths of movement along the median nerve, measured by real-time ultrasound imaging.
Greatest movement was found with a neurodynamic slider, with less in a neurodynamic tensioner.
This helps us with our clinical reasoning process in treatment rationale when selecting specific nerve mobilizations and exercises for nerve rehabilitation, including sciatica and other radiculopathies.
