Background: Neurodynamics is a test which check the mechanical movement of neurological tissue. It isused in an assessment to gain an impression of neural tissue mobility & sensitivity to mechanical stress.Slump and straight leg raising test are said to be the standard neurodynamics test for the lower limb.Objectives: The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of neck and ankle position on knee and hipflexion movement during slump and straight leg raising (SLR) test and to know the neural tissue response tothe neurodynamic test by addition of sensitizing manoeuverMaterial and Method: It is an cross sectional study where 30 male & 30 female asymptomatic subjects inthe age group of 18-39 years were takenResults: It is concluded that there is a change in the range of movement in a normal asymptomatic subjectionduring Slump and SLR test.
