Mechanosensitivity during straight leg raise and slump neurodynamic tests in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus and diabetic peripheral neuropathy

People with T1DM and severe DPN, as graded by TCSS, are more likely to demonstrate negative neurodynamic tests than those with mild DPN. Future studies should investigate the relationship between neurodynamic tests and nerve function in other conditions. This supports previous research on negative neurodynamic tests in severe neuropathy, suggesting that neurodynamic tests should not be used alone to determine nerve involvement.
