125 asymptomatic healthy volunteers between the age of 18 - 25 yrs were assessed for neurodynamic response for right & left posterior tibial nerve. 107 subjects who showed normal neurogenic response were included in the study and hip flexion angle was noted as outcome measure. Outcome measures used for assessing ankle-foot mechanics were dorsiflexion, eversion range of motion, weight bearing, and non-weight bearing angle of calcaneum and degree of flat foot assessed with feiss line. The data obtained was analyzed statistically to find out correlation between neurodynamic response of posterior tibial nerve with above mentioned outcome measures of ankle - foot using Karl-Pearson's correlation test. Neurodynamic response of posterior tibial nerve showed negative correlation with weight bearing angle of calcaneum and no correlation with dorsiflexion, eversion and non-weight bearing angle of calcaneum.

Abstract


125 asymptomatic healthy volunteers between the age of 18 - 25 yrs were assessed for neurodynamic response for right & left posterior tibial nerve. 107 subjects who showed normal neurogenic response were included in the study and hip flexion angle was noted as outcome measure. Outcome measures used for assessing ankle-foot mechanics were dorsiflexion, eversion range of motion, weight bearing, and non-weight bearing angle of calcaneum and degree of flat foot assessed with feiss line. The data obtained was analyzed statistically to find out correlation between neurodynamic response of posterior tibial nerve with above mentioned outcome measures of ankle - foot using Karl-Pearson's correlation test. Neurodynamic response of posterior tibial nerve showed negative correlation with weight bearing angle of calcaneum and no correlation with dorsiflexion, eversion and non-weight bearing angle of calcaneum.
