“…7 Nunes et al compared the effects of nerve slider and tensioner technique applied to femoral, sciatic and tibial nerves to static stretch on vertical jump and dynamic balance assessed using star excursion balance test and reported no difference between interventions for any of the measures. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Findings are similar in present study, in both the groups improvement in Y-balance test is seen but it is more significant in anterior (p=0.00, 0.04) and right side (p=0.004, 0.003) in comparison to left side (p=0.012.0.041) of Y-balance test (Table 2).…”

“…12,13 It release tension in the nerve 14,15 by moving one or several joints to stretch the nerve bed through both the ends and decreases the neural mechanosensitivity and thus helps in increasing hamstring flexibility and helps to restore dynamic balance. 11,16 Neurodynamic Slider (NS) is a type of neural mobilization where one end of the neural tissue is elongated and another end is 17 Neurodynamic Tensioner (NT) is another type of neural mobilization where joint movements are performed simultaneously in which the tension is applied on both sides of the neural structures in order to lengthen the nerve bed. 18 There is bidirectional relationship present between hamstring flexibility, neural tissue mobility and dynamic balance in healthy individuals.…”

Background: Inadequate hamstring muscle flexibility leads to impaired balance in healthy individuals. So, the present study is conducted to evaluate the immediate effect of neurodynamic slider and tensioner technique on hamstring muscle flexibility and balance in healthy individuals. Method: Total 42 healthy individuals both male and female age between 18-26 with AKE <70 degree participated in the study. 42 individuals were randomly assigned in two groups. Group A received neurodynamic slider technique followed by group B received tensioner technique. AKE angle was immediately examined before and after the intervention to evaluate hamstring flexibility. Results: Results is concluded that both slider and tensioner technique are equally effective to improve hamstring muscle flexibility (p<0.05) and balance in healthy individuals within the group but. As the findings of between the group shows that both the techniques are equally effective not superior on one another (p>0.05). Conclusions: This study concludes that both the neural slider and tensioner techniques were equally effective in immediately increasing the hamstring flexibility and dynamic postural balance in healthy individuals.

“…Similar to the present research, it has been demonstrated that NM may be useful for reducing pain due to DOMS in healthy adults [ 63 ]. Furthermore, it has recently been shown that NM may influence the motor performance of healthy subjects improving the height of a vertical jump [ 26 ]. It is undeniable that the special interest of NM relapses on the possible effects of these techniques on different neuromusculoskeletal conditions.…”

“…They are characterised by NM that include tension and glide techniques [ 24 ]. Those techniques are used frequently in various regions of the body because of the benefits that have been scientifically demonstrated [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Beneciuk et al showed the existence of differences in the temporal summation, as well as the range of motion and sensory descriptors after three weeks using the technique of NM in the upper extremity [ 29 ].…”

Objective: The present trial aimed to compare the effects of the mobilisation of the nervous system (NS) to those of a soft-tissue intervention in subjects exposed to an experimentally induced hyperalgesia of the masticatory muscles. Methods: The study was a single-blinded randomised controlled trial. A total of 49 participants (mean ± SD age: 41 ± 11 years; 61% female) with latent myofascial trigger points (LMTrPs) in the craniofacial region were randomly assigned to one of three groups: neural mobilisation (NM), soft-tissues techniques and stretching (STT-S), and control group (CG). An initial assessment (baseline) was performed before the provocation chewing masticatory test. The pre-treatment measurements were registered 24 hours later. Next, the randomised intervention was applied, and afterwards, post-treatment data were obtained. Outcome measures included pain-free maximum mouth opening (MMO), pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) in the trigeminal and cervical region, and trigeminal and cervical two-point discrimination (TPD). Results: ANOVA revealed significant differences for the time × group interaction for pain-free MMO and PPTs. The results showed an improvement in the MMO and the PPTs for NM and STT-S groups but not for the CG. There were no differences between the NM and STT-S groups. However, the effect sizes were large for the NM and medium for the STT-S. No differences were found for TDP between groups nor over time. Conclusion: The results show that with NM and STT-S techniques, we could influence motor and sensory variables in asymptomatic subjects with LMTrPs after a masticatory provocation test. Both techniques increased MMO and PPTs in the short term. These beneficial effects lead us to consider the importance of including these methods in clinical practice.

“…The result for one of the variable of functional performance that is Verticle jump height (in meters) was significantly improved post-intervention may be due to increase in motor which may have occurred as a result of accelerated (20) axonal transport and blood flow in the neural tissue. Studies suggest that there exist some relation between Verticle jump height and sprint test, this might be the reason for getting (21,22) improvement in four-line sprint test post-intervention.…”

Background: Hamstring muscle injuries are a common occurrence in a wide range of sprint-based sports which accounts about 13-15% of injuries in football players. The predisposing factors for it are poor hamstring flexibility & neural tension. Epidemiological research has cited reduced flexibility as an etiological factor in acute muscle strain injury and can influence functional performance. To prevent hamstring muscle injury, routine traditional intervention is used. Neural mobilization has been an emerging technique but its research on sports field is very limited. Thus, the need of the study was to examine the immediate effect of neural mobilization on hamstring flexibility and Functional performance using this new technique and also to prevent/decrease the risk of hamstring muscle injury. To Aim: evaluate the immediate effect of Sciatic Neural Mobilization technique on Hamstring Flexibility and Functional Performance among Football Players in Vadodara. Methodology: 48 Male Football Players who met the Inclusion Criteria were recruited from Baroda Football Academy (BFA) and Swarnim Gujarat Sports University (SGSU). There was a short session of 3 minutes warm up. The Baseline and post-intervention data collection was done in a sequential order (Bilateral Hamstring Flexibility, Vertical jump test, Four-Line Sprint Test) in which in between Vertical jump & Four-Line Sprint Test 5 minutes break was provided to avoid fatigue. Following 5 minutes break, Sciatic neural sliding mobilization was given for bilateral lower limb to participants by physiotherapist. The Data were analyzed using Result: Paired t- Test, and there was statistically significant improvement in all the three outcome measures (P = < 0.001) Conclusion: The present study showed that sciatic neural mobilization had a Positive effect on hamstring flexibility and functional performance among Football Players in Vadodara.
