A good video about the neurodynamic test for ulnar nerve. It is different from what we learnt in the practical but it is similar to Petty's textbook. It also demonstrates clear steps of adding component in the test rather than the combined one we learnt before.
Steps:
- Shoulder decompression (video) / Shoulder stabilisation (Petty's version)
- wrist and fingers extension
- shoulder abduction
- forearm pronation
- elbow flexion
- lateral rotation of shoulder
- further shoulder abduction
I think it is easier to perform the one we have learnt before, but for this one we can talk to the examiner what components we are adding in a more systemic way.

YO! Good stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteHow about the 'Nerve Sliding' bit at the end of the video? Have we learnt?
ReplyDeleteWhat does it use for?

ReplyDeleteYes we have learnt that! Richard taught us before about another similar method as a treatment for restricted mobility of nerve. It was for median nerve though. In standing position with shoulder abducted to 90 degrees, side flex head while extending the elbow to maintain the same neural tension and slide the nerve to reduce sensitivity of it.
