Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Background: The neurodynamics technique seems interesting for increased lower limb flexibility of the lower limbs in healthy subjects. The objective of this study is to assess the physiological effects of the SLUMP sliding technique on the range of knee extension during the SLUMP test.

Methods: 60 physiotherapy students perform measurements during three tutorials. The first involves training in evaluation techniques. The second involves mobilizing the knee, out of the SLUMP position. The third tutorial includes neuronal mobilization in SLUMP.

Knee extension in SLUMP position is measured immediately after completing techniques. The mobilization amplitudes (degrees) will be compared between the techniques by a Student test on paired series, each subject being his own control.

Discussion: The results of this study will provide evidence for the physiological effect of SLUMP sliding techniques performed by physiotherapy students on the range of knee extension during the SLUMP test in asymptomatic subjects.
