Effects of Neuromobilization on Tendinopathy: Part II

摘要

Neurodynamic tests are used to diagnose two types of dysfunctions: sliding and tension dysfunctions. A sliding dysfunction would be indicated if a patient's symptoms decreased as the patient was pushed further into the test. A tension dysfunction would be indicated if a patient's symptoms increased as the patient was pushed further into the test.4 Sliding and tension dysfunctions should be treated differently and should guide the clinician when deciding on a treatment regimen. In addition to classifying the patient as a tensioner or slider, Shacklock4 has recommended for clinicians to further classify these patients across four levels.
