Excursion of The Median, Ulnar and Radial Nerves During the Nerve Gliding Exercises Used in The Orthopedic Physiotherapy: A Cadaveric Study

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the measurement nerve gliding, resulting from joint motion and changes upper extremity position. Methods: extremities ten fresh human cadavers were dissected delineate relationship between positioning gliding distance nerves. Nerve mobilization – stretching therapy (SMG) techniques are mentioned in literature for each radial, medial ulnar excursion secondary shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers evaluated at elbow via SMG application. Initially head positioned with anatomic For median nerve, position extension, forearm supination, wrist finger extension. flexion, full pronation, dorsiflexion. Finally, radial observed palmar flexion. Results: ulnar, nerves 13.5, 29.75 11.37 mm respectively. Conclusion: In study, longitudinal movement movements joints different positions. can contribute tissue orthopedic rehabilitation.
