Neural Mobilization (exercise)
Initially patients will be informed about the procedures. After the guidelines, the hip and knee are palpated to start the joint angles. Then, the knee joint is positioned in extension and remained so throughout the treatment. In addition, the hip joint is bent until the moment that will be perceived a minimum strength of the muscles of the posterior region of thigh and leg (discarding muscle stretching). Neural mobilization is started at the time when the ankle joint will be manipulated in dorsiflexion at a frequency of approximately 20 oscillations per minute, with a pause of 25 seconds of rest. In the last two minutes of therapy, we will include cervical flexion, in order to intend the neuraxis, keeping artuculares amplitudes.
