Examine the neurophysiological properties of connective tissue, including sensory nerve endings, mechanoreceptors, nociceptors, proprioception, pain perception and their relevance to physiotherapy and manual therapy. Introduction The response of a muscle to stretching depends partly on the nervous system and sensory receptors present in the muscle-tendon unit. Two important sensory receptors are the muscle spindle andContinueContinue reading “Neurophysiological Properties of Connective Tissue: Mechanisms and Clinical Significance”
