ClinConnect Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of neurodynamic mobilization (NM) technique on muscle damage and inflammation biomarkers, and pain, pressure pain threshold, and functional status in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). In the study, 34 healthy sedentary male volunteers were randomly divided into two groups as NM (n = 17) and SHAM-NM (n = 17). After the initial evaluation of the individuals, femoral nerve NM and placebo NM techniques were administered three sets a day with ten repetitions for three days a week for three weeks. Three days after the end of the application...
