Efficacy of Neurodynamic Technique on Athletes with Lower Lumbar Radiculopathy: Narrartive Review
Journal Title: Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Journal - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Lumbar radiculopathy is associated with nerve root injury. It involves radiating pain below knee with neural deficit in neural distribution pattern. Neurodynamic technique has been advocated as an effective treatment for lumbar radiculopathy. The purpose of this review is to analyse the mechanism and the effectiveness of neurodynamic technique and to examine the effect of neurodynamic technique on motor nerve conduction velocity (mNCV) and surface electromyographic activity (sEMG).
