This seminar provides a broad introduction to the concepts of mobilization of the nervous system.
Description
This seminar provides a broad introduction to the concepts of mobilization of the nervous system. The nervous system is presented as a mobile and elastic structure worthy of physical examination in many spinal and peripheral problems. To integrate this concept into clinical practice and research, some clinical reasoning skills and a basic understanding of neurobiology are necessary. Therefore, this seminar merges three areas:
- Physical examination of the nervous system
- Neurobiology of peripheral and central sensitivity
- Clinical reasoning science
