Physiotherapy Clinical Learning Modules

Core concepts simplified for BPT & MPT students preparing for clinical rotations and OPD evaluations.

Module 1 · Neurology

Neurodynamics & Nerve Sliders

Mechanics of the nervous system as a continuous biomechanical organ. Differentiating nerve root compression from non-neural myofascial trigger points.

Key Takeaway: Never stretch an acutely irritated nerve. Use nerve sliders (two-joint concurrent flexion/extension) to restore intraneural circulation.

Module 2 · Spine Biomechanics

Lumbar Disc Herniation & L4-L5

Hydraulic pressure dynamics in the nucleus pulposus during flexion vs. neutral posture. Analysis of posterior annular tear paths.

Key Takeaway: Preserving lumbar lordosis and activating the transverse abdominis reduces intradiscal hydrostatic pressure by up to 60%.

Module 3 · Cervical Examination

Cervical Radiculopathy Tests

Evidence-based cluster tests for cervical nerve root pathology: Spurling's Test A, Neck Distraction, Upper Limb Neurodynamic Test 1 (Median), and Cervical Rotation <60°.

Key Takeaway: When all 4 cluster tests are positive, post-test probability of cervical radiculopathy reaches 90%.

Module 4 · Ergonomics

Upper Crossed Syndrome (Janda)

Reciprocal inhibition patterns in desk workers: Hypertonic upper trapezius and pectoralis major paired with inhibited deep neck flexors and lower trapezius.

Key Takeaway: Stretching tight anterior muscles before strengthening weak posterior stabilizers accelerates long-term postural realignment.
