“…The integrated biomechanical, physiological, and morphological functions of the nervous system are now referred to by this term, which has gained wider acceptance. If the nervous system is presenting neurodynamic harmony, this indicates that mechanical and physiological properties are normal and in accordance with each other (Plaza-Manzano et al, 2020;Valente et al, 2014. Neural mobilization is a component of manual therapy utilized for a variety of diseases, including pain, lateral epicondylitis, cubital tunnel syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, tarsal tunnel syndrome and osteoartrtithis (Beneciuk et al, 2009;Kim et al, 2016;Yılmaz et al, 2022;Oskay et al, 2010, Ballestero-Perez et al, 2017Leblebicier et al,2022;González-Matilla et al, 2022). Through the positioning and movement of numerous joints, neurodynamic treatments are a type of manual therapy that target the neurological structures (Villafañe et al, 2012).…”

(ENGLISH): Purpose: This study's objective was to assess the effectiveness of neural mobilization on asymptomatic, healthy volunteers' pain, muscle strength, and reaction time. Material and Methods: Hand grip strength, reaction time, and pain thresholds of 50 participiants’ were evaluated using a dynamometer, the Nelson Hand Reaction Test, and a digital algometer, respectively. While the dominant extremities of the participants constituted the neural mobilization group, the non-dominant extremities constituted the control group. The same measurements were repeated in both extremities by the blinded assessor after median nerve mobilization was applied to the dominant upper extremities of participants. Results: When the measurements before and after mobilization were compared in the neural mobilization group, it was seen that the hand grip strength increased (p 0.05); however, a statistically significant decrease was found in reaction time and pain threshold score (p 0.05). Conclusion: Neural mobilization may increase grip strength in healthy individuals but has no effect on pain threshold. Its effect on reaction time can be explained by motor learning. New studies are needed in different disease groups.
