Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of median nerve neuromobilization on median nerve elasticity using shear wave elastography.

Methods: The study included 36 healthy volunteers (72 upper extremities) aged 18-30 years. Inclusion criteria; no known systemic neuromuscular and metabolic diseases, no nerve impingement syndrome, and no upper extremity bone-tendon-muscle surgery in the last six months. Sociodemographic data of the participants were recorded. Wrist flexion and extension bilaterally with universal goniometer and finger grip strength bilaterally were measured with pinchmeter. Median Nerve Stress Test was performed. Median nerve elasticity was measured by Shear Wave Ultrasound Elastography. The extremity of the dominant side as a study group and the non-dominant side as a control group were measured bilaterally. Median nerve neuromobilization (stretching (n = 18) and shifting (n = 18)) was applied to the upper extremities of the dominant side. The application was carried out as 3 sets in one session. Evaluations were repeated after application.
