Research Progress of Nerve Mobilization in Basic and Clinical Rehabilitation by Shuo LUAN, Quanshou LING, Miaoshang ZENG, Anni LIN, Yingping JIANG

“…Despite of insufficient evidence, the NM is proved to be used in the prevention, assessment and treatment of neurological disorders, including stroke, traumatic brain injury and Parkinson's disease. Moreover, previous studies proved that peripheral mechanical loads applied to neural tissues could improve the central neural plasticity, and the improvements were observed in muscular tone, strength, body weight distribution, postural balance and other functional motor performances, which helped to attenuate the motor dysfunction of the upper and lower limbs. …”
