Brief Summary
|
Aging is a natural
phenomenon which is characterized by biological changes such as muscle mass and
strength reduction, loss of mobility and balance and motor coordination
impairment. Neurodynamic sliding technique is effective for improving pain,
flexibility, muscle strength, and also balance. Neurodynamic interventions,
termed as Neural Mobilization (NM) or Nerve Glide Stretches are active
stretches in which the nervous system is made taut and then slack and are
thought to decrease neural mechanosensitivity by providing movement that lead to
changes in the neurodynamics and modification of sensation, and help to explain
the observed increase in flexibility, also helps to restore the balance. OBJECTIVE:
To study the effect of neurodynamic
sliding technique on hamstring flexibility and balance in elderly.
METHOD: 104
subjects who satisfied inclusion criteria were recruited in intervention group.
Neurodynamic sliding technique was given. Outcome measures were assessed
before, after intervention and follow up was taken after 2 days.
