Quantifying the Elasticity Properties of the Median Nerve during the Upper Limb Neurodynamic Test 1

Figure 1

Schematic diagram of upper limb neurodynamic testing. Images of the median nerve between the superficial flexor and the deep flexor at the midpoint of the forearm which is sampled and measured; the color area of the image is the elastic image area of shear wave and the measured area neutral posture (a); contralateral cervical flexion (b); wrist extension (c); and contralateral cervical flexion+wrist extension (d).
