It is not a very sensitive test when used for individuals without classic radicular signs suggestive of cervical radiculopathy. [citation needed] In 2011, one study evaluated 257 patients with clinical cervical radiculopathy and correlated CT scan findings with clinical exam findings using the Spurling's test.

[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]
Patrick's test or FABER test is performed to evaluate pathology of the hip joint or the sacroiliac joint. [1] The test is performed by having the tested leg flexed and the thigh abducted and externally rotated. If pain is elicited on the ipsilateral side anteriorly, it is suggestive of a hip joint
