Abstract
Introducción: La aplicación de la neurodinamia en personas que han padecido
un daño cerebral adquirido tiene el potencial de mejorar su funcionalidad y su
capacidad para realizar actividades diarias que se pueden ver limitadas por la
afectación motora causada por dicha lesión gracias al reciente aumento de
estudios científicos sobre la neurodinamia que muestran efectos beneficiosos
sobre el sistema músculo-esquelético y la fisiología de los nervios periféricos.
Objetivo: Valorar los efectos de la neurodinamia del nervio mediano frente a un
tratamiento placebo en el miembro superior afecto en pacientes con daño
cerebral adquirido en una sola aplicación.
Métodos: Se realizó un ensayo clínico aleatorizado de simple ciego con 24
sujetos con daño cerebral adquirido. Se dividieron en dos grupos: grupo
experimental (n=12) donde se aplicó neurodinamia del nervio mediano y grupo
control (n=12) donde se aplicó neurodinamia placebo. Fuerza de agarre,
espasticidad, dolor, rango de movimiento y electromiografía de superficie se
midieron antes y después del tratamiento.
Resultados: El grupo experimental con respecto al control presentó cambios
significativos en la disminución de la espasticidad de tríceps y flexores del carpo,
aumento del rango de movimiento de flexión y extensión de muñeca,
disminución de la actividad muscular de tríceps, bíceps, flexores y extensores
del carpo.
Conclusiones: Los hallazgos reportados en el presente estudios muestran que la
neurodinamia aplicada pacientes con lesión neurológica reduce la espasticidad,
aumenta el rango de movimiento y modula la actividad muscular.
Introduction: The application of neurodynamics in people who have suffered an acquired brain injury has the potential to improve their functionality and their ability to perform daily activities that may be limited by the motor impairment caused by such injury thanks to the recent increase in scientific studies on neurodynamics showing beneficial effects on the musculoskeletal system and peripheral nerve physiology. Objective: To assess the effects of median nerve neurodynamics versus placebo treatment on the affected upper limb in patients with acquired brain injury in a single application. Methods: A single-blind randomised clinical trial was conducted with 24 subjects with acquired brain injury. They were divided into two groups: the experimental group (n=12), where median nerve neurodynamics was applied, and the control group (n=12), where placebo neurodynamics was applied. Grip strength, spasticity, pain, range of motion and surface electromyography were measured before and after treatment. Results: The experimental group in contraposition with the control group presented significant changes in the decrease of the spasticity of the triceps and carpal flexors, an increase of the range of movement of wrist flexion and extension, a decrease of the muscular activity of triceps, biceps, flexors and extensors of the carpus. Conclusions: The findings reported in the present study show that neurodynamics applied in patients with neurological injury reduces spasticity, increases range of motion and modulates muscle activity.
