Accelerated rehabilitation after ankle fracture surgery: Is early mobilization beneficial?

In 2007, Vioreanu, et. al., conducted study about Ankle fractures which is often require surgical intervention to facilitate proper healing and regain mobility. The objective of operative treatment is to enable swift movement following internal fixation. This study sought to investigate whether early mobilization, as opposed to traditional immobilization, could enhance the recovery of functionality in patients who underwent surgery for ankle fractures. In a … Continue reading Accelerated rehabilitation after ankle fracture surgery: Is early mobilization beneficial?

Neurodynamic Assessment

A neurodynamic test checks the length, mobility and mechanical sensitivity of the neurological tissues (1). For a neurodynamic test to be positive, the limb/joint positioning sequence should reproduce the patient’s symptoms associated with radiculopathy along with/without a measurable asymmetry between left and right sides. A positive neurodynamic test indicates multiple pathogeneses, which may include increased tension in the dura mater and the nerves, compression on … Continue reading Neurodynamic Assessment
