May i ask what is the indication and rationale of using the neuro-mobilisation on a stroke patient?
isit partly becos of long term spasticity in a fixed position predispose the nerve to adhesion formation or what?
by the way , the publisher's name is Springer Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
author is Davies P.M.
it is based on Bobath's approach
But allow me to comment on this, that Bobath's technique is effectve really remains a controversy.
personally i dun buy her approach so much, so it shows effect veryvery slowly.
it needs to progress the patient from lying to sitting to standing in so many phases and need to do so many techniques.
this is not practicible in hospital which are busy , for example in HK we treat about 10 or more patients in a single hour.
and we need to discharge the patient within 6 weeks. how can we succeed with her approach?
i think motor relearning approach will be more practical and useful for such a rushing situation. we aim at regaining her Fx as first priority, esp transfer and ambulation.
so we can cope with those doctor's push on us.
