“…The SMWLM was more effective than NM, and NM was more effective than the control in improving the parameters. NM aims to restore balance between the nervous tissue and the surrounding structures [56], and improves musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous system extensibility [57], The combination of nerve endings in opposite directions in the tensioner technique of NM and nerve and joint movements through nerve endings in the same direction in the slider technique may have had a positive effect on improving lumbar mobility in patients with LDH [58]. The SMWLM may have a positive effect on increased lumbar mobility by limiting the mobility of the facet joint and simultaneously affecting the mobility of the surrounding intervertebral joint by assisting the gliding of the facet joint [23].…”

Low back pain is a heterogeneous musculoskeletal disease that affects 65-85% of the world's population [1,2]. According to the global burden of disease in 2017, the degree of disability caused by low back pain increased by 54% worldwide between 1990 and 2015 [3], Lumbar disc herniation (LDH), the most common musculoskeletal disorder, affects approximately 10% of the world's population [4], especially young to middle-aged individuals [5,6,7]. Most patients with LDH have a good prognosis in terms of pain and disability. However, they have a longer recovery period than those of individuals with back pain without radiating pain, which leads to absence, burden of medical expenses, and social costs [8,9].LDH is defined as the displacement of the intervertebral disc space of the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus

BACKGOURND: The pathophysiology of adhesive capsulitis may be associated with increased neural mechanosensitivity in upper limb neurodynamic test. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the findings of neurodynamic assessment in patients with more than four month history of adhesive capsulitis. METHODS: Thirty-five patients with more than four month history of adhesive capsulitis were participated in this study. A physiotherapist performed the Upper Limb Neurodynamic test 1 procedure on the participant’s upper limb. Elbow extension range of motion at the end of the Upper Limb Neurodynamic test 1 was compared with the participant’s elbow extension at the end of Upper Limb Neurodynamic test 1 performed on the opposite upper limb and to elbow extension on the symptomatic side performed with the arm by the side. RESULTS: The intensity of pain in Upper Limb Neurodynamic test 1 increased with lateral flexion of the neck to the unaffected side and eased with lateral flexion to the affected side in all participants. A marked restriction of the elbow passive extension range of motion in Upper Limb Neurodynamic test 1 on the affected side (–54.6±17.8°) compared to the unaffected side was found (–7.3±10.7°) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Restriction of elbow passive extension range of motion at the end of the Upper Limb Neurodynamic 1 test reproduced patients’ familiar adhesive capsulitis associated pain and the pain changed with structural differentiation using cervical lateral flexion. Neurodynamic assessment may need to be considered to assess neural mechanosensitivity in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
