Radial Nerve Glides EXPLAINED

The video tutorial covers the radial nerve glide technique, its indications, and how to perform it. It explains the conditions that may benefit from this technique, such as adverse neurodynamics, numbness, and post-concussion syndrome. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for performing the glide, including positioning and movement. It also discusses how to progress the technique with shoulder abduction and emphasizes the importance of using the test-treat-retest model to assess treatment effectiveness.

Which of the following conditions might benefit from a radial nerve glide?

• Achilles tendinitis

• Plantar fasciitis

• Adverse neurodynamics

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

What is the initial position of the arm when performing the basic radial nerve glide?

• Arm by the side with elbow almost straight

• Arm by the side with elbow bent

• Arm raised above the head

• Arm crossed over the chest

During the basic radial nerve glide, what is the position of the head in position one?

• Tilted away from the arm

• Tilted toward the arm

• Facing forward

• Looking down

How can the radial nerve glide be progressed to increase tension on the nerve?

• By tilting the head backward

• By rotating the wrist outward

• By bending the elbow more

• By adding shoulder abduction

What is the purpose of the test-treat-retest model in the context of radial nerve glides?

• To ensure the patient is comfortable

• To reduce the number of repetitions

• To increase the range of motion

• To confirm the treatment's effectiveness
