Study Notes

### Nerve Structure

The outermost layer of a nerve is called the epineurium.

Peripherical Nerve Injury (PNI)

PNI is defined as an injury to a nerve outside of the central nervous system.

Nerve Injury Types

Axonotmesis is a type of nerve injury characterized by breakdown of the axon and distal Wallerian degeneration.

Wallerian Degeneration

Wallerian degeneration is the active process of retrograde degeneration of the distal end of an axon that is a result of a nerve lesion.

Treating Nerve Injuries - Phase 1

The goal of Phase I in the treatment of nerve injuries with denervation is to prevent further injury and optimize the environment for nerve regeneration.

Contraindications for Neurodynamic Techniques

Contraindications for manual treatment of nervous release using Neurodynamics techniques include active inflammation, recent fractures, and severe pain.

Nerve Conduction

Nerve conduction in PNI is affected by axonal damage, myelin sheath damage, and changes in the surrounding tissue.
