BACKGROUND The ulnar nerve upper limb neurodynamic test (ULNT3) uses upper limb positioning to investigate symptoms arising from the ulnar nerve. It is proposed to selectively increase tension of the nerve; however, this property of the test is not well established. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the upper limb position that results in: (1) the greatest tension of the ulnar ...

BACKGROUND This study was aimed at assessing the accuracy of provocative tests in diagnosis of acute or chronic Cervical Radiculopathy (CR) based on an electrodiagnostic reference criterion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Shoulder Abduction Test (SAT), Spurling Test (ST), Upper Limb Tension Test (ULTT), and electromyography were done on 97 patients who referred to Electrodiagnostic center in the unive...

background: this study evaluated the efficacy of focal intramuscular injection of botulinum (bont) toxin type a in comparison with oral tizanidine (tzd) in treatment of post-stroke upper limb spasticity. methods: this was a double-blinded randomized clinical trial that recruited 68 patients with post-stroke upper limb spasticity. thirty-four patients received bont (dysport(®)) injections in aff...

Introduction: Assessment of peripheral nerve disorders can be classified into clinical tests such nerve conduction test, performed to examine nerve functions and Neural Tissue Tension Tests designed to find out increased mechanosensitivity of the nerve being tested. Upper Limb Neural Tissue Tension Tests (ULTT) is a good tool for assessment of early affection of the neural tissue. Purpose of St...

STUDY DESIGN Prospective Experimental Study. BACKGROUND Computer users may be at risk of lateral elbow pain. It is theorized that adverse mechanical tension can arise in the radial nerve with sustained keyboarding due to sustained static work of the elbow extensor muscles. Neural mobilization has been suggested as a potential treatment. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ...
