Neurodynamic Solutions (NDS)

Upper Quarter Course

 

CONTENTS

1 The concept of neurodynamics

2 Neurodynamic sequencing

3 Effect of bilateral neurodynamic testing on neurodynamics – SLR and upper limb neurodynamic tests

4 Neuropathodynamics – expanding the boundaries and classification of different dysfunctions

5 Neurodynamic testing – MNT1, MNT2, RNT, UNT, RSNT and sensitisation

6 Planning the physical examination – how not to provoke pain but still treat the neurodynamic component. How to sensitise the examination and treatment for hidden neurodynamic problems, level 1,2 and type 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d examinations.

7 Diagnosis of neurodynamic tests – differentiating neural tissue from neuromusculoskeletal tissues, establishing what is normal and abnormal

8 Classification and diagnosis of specific dysfunctions – sliding dysfunction, tension dysfunction, pathophysiological dysfunction, mechanosensitivity dysfunction, mechanical interface dysfunctions, hyperactivity protective muscle dysfunction, innervated tissue dysfunctions.

9 Method of treatment – system of technique progression, hypersensitivity problems, hidden neural component and sensitised examination

10.Treatment progressions – cervical nerve root foraminal opening and closing dysfunctions, neural tension dysfunction, combined neural tension and reduced closing dysfunctions (level/type 3c), thoracic outlet syndrome treatment combinations, medial and lateral elbow pain, carpal tunnel syndrome. Neural tension dysfunction, specific neural siding dysfunctions
