Something for Barrett

[Diane]

Barrett, in some other thread you asked if anyone had a paper that gave info on mechanical neural distortion and its effects; Luke provided you with Topp, and I'd like to provide you with Rempel. Here's a link to Pathophysiology of Nerve Compression Syndromes: Response of Peripheral Nerves to Loading, and the nice part is, it's open access.

Yes, it says compression, but mechanical traction on a nerve will thin out its various "neuriums" collapsing/impairing/obstructing vascular channels, just as much as does compression.

Good find, Diane.

As I always say, "The primary characteristics of Soma Simple are thoughtfulness and generosity. There you will be safe though your ideas may not be. If you can see the difference between your theories and yourself you won't be scared to join in."

Of course, this virtually never works, but I keep trying.

This is just another example of what we have here, so thanks Diane.

Barrett, I am known to come late to these things and post stuff that is already well-known, but here goes:

"Structure and biomechanics of peripheral nerves: Nerve responses to physical stresses and implications for physical therapists"
Kimberly Topp, Benjamin Boyd Physical Therapy, Vol 86, #1 January 2006.

and here is a link to their abstract (sorry - no access to the full text)

Very late indeed, Bas.

I'll do this from now on: :zip:

I actually did a SS search with the title - and of course nothing showed up.
