Course Overview

How can neurodynamic testing improve clinical reasoning and treatment outcomes in neurorehabilitation? This course will show you how to safely perform neurodynamic tests on healthy individuals, people with neurological impairments, and children, and how to confidently interpret the results in a clinical setting. Through hands-on demonstrations and exercises, you’ll gain an understanding of how the mobility of peripheral nerves influences movement, function, and rehabilitation. A key focus is on the palpation of peripheral nerves, their anatomical course, and the identification of sensitive areas for precise assessment and clinical decision-making. You’ll also learn how to adapt testing techniques for individuals with severe neurological impairments or limited verbal communication. As Part 2 of the INN® Basic Course, this program is an important step toward completing the full INN® Basic Course. Those who complete all four INN® expert courses will receive the Basic Course certificate, which qualifies them to participate in INN® practical courses.

A course that is academically sound, practical, and exceptionally well-structured from a pedagogical standpoint!!
Overall, this course was a very valuable opportunity for me to deepen my understanding. Thanks to the clearly presented videos and texts, I was able to gradually gain a deeper understanding of the neurodynamic tests. The integration of theory and practice was particularly effective. The nerve palpation exercises and the illustrations of nerve pathways were also extremely helpful. Highly recommended.
