Manage Adverse Neural Tension for the Lower Extremity: A Neurodynamic Approach
Course Description
Adverse neural tension presents challenges for clinicians as patients present with pain, tingling, numbness and/or weakness related to mobility impairment of the neurofascial and myofascial systems. Nerves require proper blood flow, mobility and space, without which they will malfunction. Explore the mechanisms contributing to the myriad of symptoms patients with nerve compression present. Inflammatory processes related to overuse, trauma and myofascial tension limit the ability of the nerves to slide and glide freely as the body performs functional movements, resulting in pain, abnormal sensations and disability. Discover the difference between simple adverse neural tension and neurodynamics approaches to managing mobility impairments involving nerves. Select the proper exam tools to identify neural entrapment and design a plan of care to restore nerve mobility and circulation in this practical webinar, with tools you can apply immediately in clinic. Create effective home programs to manage mobility impairments related to adverse neural tension conditions. Help your patients to move again without those strange and painful sensations and get them back to doing the activities they love.
Course Objectives
At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:
- Describe the neurodynamic approach to adverse neural tension impairments of the lower extremity (LE).
- Assess neural mobility of the LE to identify adverse neural tension impairments.
- Perform neurodynamic mobilization interventions to address abnormal tension for sciatic, obturator, femoral , tibial and saphenous nerves using manual or instrument-assisted myofascial release/soft tissue mobilization and neural stretches.
- Design a home program of exercise to manage adverse neural tension.
- Discuss the evidence for the effectiveness of neurodynamics for management of adverse neural tension conditions of the LE.
