ABSTRACT
Objective: Neural mobilization technique is one of the manual therapy methods that provide mobilization of soft tissues surrounding the neural structures. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nerve-gliding exercises on the handgrip strength of adolescent tennis players. Material and Methods: Thirty-six tennis players (mean age 15.11±1.45 years, mean body height 1.69±0.07 meters and mean body weight 59.01±8.95 kg) were included in the study. The players got nerve-gliding exercises to the median nerve of the dominant side (racket arm) by a physiotherapist for three sets of four minutes. The dominant and non-dominant side handgrip strength was assessed before and after the nerve-gliding exercises. Results: It was determined that there was a difference between the dominant and nondominant extremity handgrip strength and the dominant extremity was stronger before the exercises (p0.05). Also, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference between the handgrip strength of the non-dominant side before and after the nerve-gliding exercises (p>0.05). Conclusion: Nerve-gliding exercises of the median nerve does not have an acute effect on handgrip muscle strength in adolescent tennis players. Studies are needed to investigate the chronic effects of the neural gliding mobilization methods on grip strength in adolescent tennis players.

ÖZET
Amaç: Nöral mobilizasyon tekniği, sinir yapısını çevreleyen yumuşak dokuların mobilizasyonunu sağlayan manuel terapi yöntemlerinden biridir. Bu çalışma, sinir kayma egzersizlerinin adölesan tenis sporcularının kavrama kuvveti üzerindeki etkinliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 36 tenis sporcusu dahil edildi (ortalama yaşı 15,11±1,45 yıl, ortalama boy uzunluğu 1,69±0,07 metre ve ortalama vücut ağırlığı 59,01±8,95 kg). Sporcuların baskın taraf (raket kolu) üst ekstremitelerinin median sinirine sinir kaydırma egzersizleri üç set ve her set dört dakika olacak şekilde bir fizyoterapist tarafından uygulandı. Sporcuların baskın ve baskın olmayan taraf kavrama kuvveti sinir kaydırma egzersizlerinden önce ve sonra değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Sinir kaydırma egzersizleri öncesinde baskın ve baskın olmayan taraf kavrama kuvveti arasında bir fark olduğu ve baskın ekstremitenin daha güçlü olduğu belirlendi (p0,05), baskın olmayan taraf kavrama kuvvetinde ise sinir kayma egzersizlerinden önce ve sonra istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olmadığı belirlendi (p>0,05). Sonuç: Median sinire uygulanan sinir kaydırma egzersizleri adölesan tenis sporcularının kavrama kuvveti üzerinde akut bir etkiye sahip değildir. Adölesan tenis sporcularında sinir kaydırma egzersizlerinin kronik etkilerinin kavrama kuvvetine olan etkilerini araştıracak çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
