Pflugers laws are neurological laws that are used by neuromuscular therapists and kinetic chain specialists to facilitate or inhibit muscles that are painful or dysfunctional.

The laws are as follows:

Law of Unilaterality

  • If a mild irritation is applied to one or more sensory nerves, the movement will take place usually on one side only, on the side
which is irritated

Law of Symmetry

  • If the stimulation is sufficiently increased, motor reaction is manifested, not only by the irritated side, but also in similar muscles on the opposite side of the body.
  • Reflex movements are usually more intense on the side of irritation; at times the movements of the opposite side equal them in intensity, but they are usually less pronounced.

Law of Radiation

  • If the excitation continues to increase, it is propagated upward, and reactions take place through centrifugal nerves coming from the
cord segments higher up.

Law of Generalization

  • When the irritation becomes very intense, it is propagated in the Medulla Oblongata, which becomes a focus from which stimuli
radiate to all parts of the cord, causing a general contraction of all muscles of the body.
