Abstract
The disabilities which are a central feature of this workshop have their roots in musculoskeletal systems and take the form of complaints which are a reflection of nerve and nerve root involvement. Generalising, these complaints fall into two major categories:
-
(1)
those indicative of nerve irritation such as paraesthesiae, pain, tenderness and muscle spasm, and
-
(2)
those indicative of failing nerve conduction.
