Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: The study included 36 healthy volunteers (72 upper extremities) aged 18-30 years. Inclusion criteria; no known systemic neuromuscular and metabolic diseases, no nerve impingement syndrome, and no upper extremity bone-tendon-muscle surgery in the last six months. Sociodemographic data of the participants were recorded. Wrist flexion and extension bilaterally with universal goniometer and finger grip strength bilaterally were measured with pinchmeter. Median Nerve Stress Test was performed. Median nerve elasticity was measured by Shear Wave Ultrasound Elastography. The extremity of the dominant side as a study group and the non-dominant side as a control group were measured bilaterally. Median nerve neuromobilization (stretching (n = 18) and shifting (n = 18)) was applied to the upper extremities of the dominant side. The application was carried out as 3 sets in one session. Evaluations were repeated after application.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
neuromobilization stretching group
In the neuromobilization stretching group; The subjects were brought to shoulder depression and 90 degrees of abduction while the dominant side forearms were supination. In this position, median nerve stretching was performed by extending the participant's head to the opposite side while flexing the wrist and finger. After waiting for 30 seconds in this position, the wrist and head were moved to the neutral position and the participants relaxed.
neuromobilization exercises
Median nerve neuromobilization (stretching and shifting) was performed. For median nerve stretching; The subjects were brought to shoulder depression and 90 degrees of abduction while the dominant side forearms were supination. In this position, median nerve stretching was performed by extending the participant's head to the opposite side while flexing the wrist and finger. After waiting for 30 seconds in this position, the wrist and head were moved to the neutral position and the participants relaxed. For median nerve shift; The subjects were brought to shoulder depression and 90 degrees of abduction while the dominant side forearms were supination. In this position, the participant flexed his wrist and fingers while lateral flexion of his head to the opposite side, and flexed his wrist and fingers while lateral flexion of the head to the same side.
neuromobilization shifting group
In the neuromobilization shifting group, the subjects were brought to shoulder depression and 90 degrees of abduction while the dominant forearms were supination. In this position, the participant flexed his wrist and fingers while lateral flexion of his head to the opposite side, and flexed his wrist and fingers while lateral flexion of the head to the same side. Thus, the participants performed median nerve shift.

Control Group
The dominant sides of the individuals are experimental sides and the other nondominant sides of the participants are control sides. And no intervention was made. All measurements were done bilaterally before and after.
