NCT04207073

Brief Summary

When the studies in the literature are examined, no study has been reached to examine whether median nerve mobilization causes changes in two-point discriminatory values in healthy individuals. This study aimed to investigate the effect of median nerve mobilization exercise on two-point discrimination in healthy adult male and female participants. Secondly, it was aimed to determine the role of variables such as gender, age, BMI (weight in kilograms, height in meters and weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m\^2), smoking, dominant extremity and physical activity level in 2-point discrimination.
