| Sumario: | Introduction: Neural Mobilization (NM) has been used to restore movement and elasticity of the nervous system. Objective: To evaluate the immediate effect of NM of the sciatic nerve on the gain of range of motion (ROM) in hip flexion in neurologically asymptomatic individuals. Method: The sample consisted of 50 individuals, divided into two groups. In Group 1, we assessed the range of the right limb, applied the NM technique, and re-evaluated the same limb. In Group 2, we assessed the right limb, applied the NM technique on the left limb, and re-evaluated the ROM of the right one. Results: We observed that mean ROM in both groups experienced a significant increase, and that the indirect mobilization group had the best result. Conclusion: NM of the sciatic nerve was an effective technique for obtaining improvement in hip flexion ROM in asymptomatic individuals. |
