37. Peripheral Nerve Healing and How Exercise Can Help
Episode description
You are helping a patient recover from a nerve injury. How do we help our patients best recover, and how long does it take? Here are the topics we go over in this episode:
- Brief review of neuron anatomy
- How do we define Neurapraxia, Axonotmesis, and Neurotmesis, and what examples of these do we see in the clinic?
- What is the difference between a compression nerve injury, crush injury, and transection nerve injury?
- How does the body conduct nerve healing?
- What treatments can we use to best promote nerve healing?
- How do we educate our patients on nerve healing?
The purpose of this podcast is to provide useful, condensed information for exhausted, time-crunched Physical Therapists and Student Physical Therapists who looking to build confidence in their foundational knowledge base and still have time to focus on other important aspects of life.
