Lower limb neurodynamics
Biopsychosocial management of neuropathic pain and neuropathies of the lower limb
Training for physiotherapists, osteopaths and podiatrists

Price: 750 €
At the end of this training, the professional will be able to have an overview of the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in pain.
He will be able to set up a therapeutic strategy according to the bio-psycho-social mechanisms involved.
To do this, he will learn to choose, adapt and master the following manual therapy tools:
-
Neuro-dynamic tests
-
Testing and diagnosis of the peripheral nervous system and the different sensory fibers
-
Neural mobilization (gliding, sliding)
-
Passive and active joint mobilization
-
Modification of motor control in a cognitive and functional approach
educational goals
-
Understand the mechanisms and the different components of pain linked to the evolution of neuroscience
-
Develop patient-centered care, by identifying the patient's bio-psycho-social risk factors
-
Learn to choose, adapt and master neurodynamic tests and techniques

Training content
Day 1 :
1. Presentation:
• Self-quiz and e-learning debrief
• Objectives of pain management.
• How it will unfold: The 4 modules.
2. Diagnostic approach (Module 1)
• Revision of the multidimensional framework of clinical understanding (O'Shaugnessy and Jones; O'Sullivan, Walton)
• Yard and red flags
• Radiculopathies
• Fishing with yellow flags during the anamnesis
• Clinical cases and role plays: recognize the mechanisms, questions to ask, the different questionnaires (STartBack, CSI)
3. The neurodynamic approach (Module 2)
• Difference Mechanosensitivity- Neuropathic Pain-Neuropathy
• Mechanosensitivity: Palpation and provocation (SLUMP, SLR, PKB, sciatic, tibial, fibular, femoral, saphenous nerves)
• Function test: examinations of all types of fibers, reflection dermatome / sensory territory / central sensitization / myotome / motor territory
Day 2:
The neurodynamic approach (Module 2)
• Clinical prediction rule and test cluster
• Mechanical provocation and cancellation test for nociceptive pain
• Motor control: Posture and Movement
o Analysis of motor control (flexion type, active extension, passive extension)
o Correlation or absence of correlation with the mechanical behavior of pain (Posture sitting, standing, bending, lifting)
o Practical session
4. Treatment (Module 3)
• Evidence (various reviews and guidelines)
• Principles of treatment (desensitization, drainage of neural tissue)
• Algorithm for the choice of techniques according to mechanosensitivity / stenosis
• Treatment protocols
Day 3:
5. The neurodynamic diagnostic approach (Module 1 and 2)
• Resumption of the complete clinical examination
• Demonstration and Training
• Resumption of clinical cases
6. Module 4: Therapeutic Strategies
• The 3D of the therapeutic approach
• Cognitive and functional management adapted to nociceptive, neuropathic and central pain
• Metaphors and prosody
• What we say and what we do
• Total management (posture, ergonomics, advice, etc.).
Laurent Fabre is an osteopath and anatomist.
He taught cadaveric, clinical and palpatory anatomy for 15 years.
He has been practicing in his own practice since 2002. Having been trained by Philip Moulaert and then having assisted him, he specialized in the diagnosis of neuro-musculoskeletal pain and the treatment of radicular pain/radiculopathy.
His interests mainly focus on the neurophysiological mechanisms of pain, the reliability of osteopathic diagnosis and the physiological effects of osteopathic manual treatment. Laurent actively contributes to the dissemination of knowledge in these areas via ablog, achainYoutube, certain publications in indexed scientific journals (JAMA, JOSPT, IJOM, Physiotherapy-La Revue) as well as posters and conferences in international congresses in manual therapy.
