Abstract

Introduction: The neurodynamicmobilization may be indicated in a number of conditions affecting the peripheral nerve, but little is known about its regenerative effects. Objectives: Describe how the neurodynamic mobilization may interfere with the mechanical and physiological properties of the peripheral nerve. Methods: This narrative review included all articles registered form 1973 to 2012in PubMed, written in Portuguese and English languages, and books involving this topic.  Discussion and conclusion: After a peripheral nerve injury a series of events can influence regeneration, including the axonal transport and movement of fluids,the mechanical loads applied to the neural tissue and the type of injury. These aspects may be influenced by neurodynamic mobilizations.  The dose, including the magnitude of the load, speed and time are factors that tension should be adjusted for optimum response, since both overload, and immobility or hypomobility may have negative effects on the recovery.
