Mechanosensitivity of the Lower Extremity Nervous System During Straight-Leg Raise Neurodynamic Testing in Healthy Individuals
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 11/02/09
Boyd BS et al. – The findings support the hypothesis that addition of ankle dorsiflexion during straight–leg raise testing induces earlier distal muscle activation and reduces hip flexion motion. The straight–leg test, performed to the onset of symptoms (P1) and with sensitizing maneuvers, allows for identification of meaningful differences in test outcomes and is an appropriate end point for lower extremity neurodynamic testing.
