The Spurling's test was 95% sensitive and 94% specific for diagnosing nerve root pathology. [2] In another study done in the late 1900s, 255 patients were examined using a Spurling test and afterwards received an electrodiagnostic examination. The study results showed the Spurling test was 30% sensitive, and 93% specific for finding cervical ...
Spurling's test: Roy Glenwood Spurling: neurology: cervical radiculopathy: Spurling's manoeuvre and sign at Who Named It? axial compression and rotation of cervical spine to the side of symptoms causes pain Stellwag's sign: Karl Stellwag von Carion: endocrinology: thyrotoxicosis: infrequent and/or incomplete blinking, accompanied by Dalrymple's ...
In the case of cervical radiculopathy , Spurling's test may elicit or reproduce symptoms radiating down the arm. Similarly, in the case of lumbosacral radiculopathy, a straight leg raise maneuver or a femoral nerve stretch test may demonstrate radiculopathic symptoms down the leg. [ 3 ]
Compression of the upper spinal cord, multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis, Behçet's disease, osteogenesis imperfecta In neurology , Lhermitte phenomenon , also called the barber chair phenomenon , is an uncomfortable "electrical" sensation that runs down the back and into the limbs.
The shoulder abduction relief test, also called Bakody's test, is a medical maneuver used to evaluate for cervical radiculopathy. [1] Specifically, this test is used to evaluate for nerve root compression at C5-C7. It is often used when a patient presents with neck pain that radiates down the ipsilateral upper extremity. [2]
The container compression test measures the compressive strength of packages such as boxes, drums, and cans. It usually provides a plot of deformation vs compressive force . It is commonly used to evaluate shipping containers made of corrugated fiberboard as well as wooden boxes and crates .
Spurling would rather let others call what Lex has cookin’ a dynasty. “We’re focused on one year at a time,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what happened last year or the last six years.
In mechanics, compressive strength (or compression strength) is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (compression). It is opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate, resisting tension (being pulled apart).
