Peripheralisation
Peripheralisation describes the phenomenon when pain emanating from the spine, although not necessarily felt in it, spreads distally into, or further down, the limb. This is the reverse of centralisation. It only occurs in the derangement syndrome.
The temporary production of distal pain with end-range movement, which does not worsen, is not peripheralisation, as this response may occur with an adherent nerve root. |
