1 Examination of Upper Quarter Neurogenic Pain Jane Fedorczyk, PT, PhD, CHT Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA Center of Excellence for Hand and Upper Limb Rehabilitation I. History Mechanism of Injury: Trauma? Co-morbidities: metabolic disorders, obesity, respiratory conditions, Occupational risk factors: prolonged periods of time in non-neutral postures, especially arms overhead Rule out: cervical pathology, shoulder pathology, myofascial pain, injury to long thoracic nerve, dorsal scapular nerve, suprascapular nerves Pain Assessment Patient Interview (location/nature of symptoms), Body Diagram II. Observation and Examination: Tests and Measures Posture Assessment Forward Head, Protracted Shoulders Scapula Position and/or Dyskinesias Presence of anti-tension postures Breathing Pattern: use of accessory muscles UQ Screen Cervical spine examination necessary? Shoulder examination necessary? For now, what does cervical motion, especially lateral flexion or rotation tell you? TOS Provocative Tests see last page Adson s Wright s Costoclavicular Roos or EAST 1

2 Regional Special Tests for Nerve Compression Elbow Flexion Test (Cubital Tunnel) Phalen s or Reverse Phalen s (Carpal Tunnel/ Ulnar Tunnel) Sensibility Testing: dermatomes with UQ Screen; screen for radial, ulnar, and median nerves in the hand Strength: review MMT Test key muscles (one high/one low) for radial, ulnar, and median nerves in the hand and forearm Grip & Pinch Strength Abdominals/Core Strength Scapula Stabilizers: trapezius, serratus anterior Muscle Length Latissimus Dorsi Pectoralis Minor and Major Scalenes (anterior, middle) Assessment of Adverse Neural Tension Active Dysfunction Patients willingness to move when asked to bring arm up over your head (Active abduction / forward flexion) Observe - cervical spine and extremity joint positioning Passive Dysfunction: Upper Extremity Neurodynamic Testing Median: Abduction/External Rotation Supination Wrist/Finger Extension Elbow Extension Shoulder Depression and/or Cervical CLF 2

3 Ulnar: Abduction/External Rotation Pronation or Supination Wrist/Small Finger Extension Elbow Flexion Shoulder Depression and/or Cervical CLF Radial: Abduction/Internal Rotation Pronation Wrist/Thumb-Index Flexion Elbow Extension Shoulder Depression and/or Cervical CLF Palpation: Neural Hyperalgesia Brachial Plexus: Median Nerve: Ulnar Nerve: Radial Nerve: Posterior Triangle Trunks Axilla Cords Medial Humerus Medial to Biceps Pronator Carpal Tunnel Medial Humerus Cubital Tunnel FCU Origin Ulnar Tunnel: Pisiform Hook of Hamate Dorsal Ulnar Cutaneous Nerve Spiral Groove Lateral Epicondyle Radial Tunnel Radial Sensory BR insertion Tender Spots/Points Tender points in tissues innervated by the peripheral nerve or cervical segment involved Local Cervical Segment Dysfunction Segmental stiffness in the cervical spine for the segmental levels composing the brachial plexus and/or the peripheral nerves involved. 3

4 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Phalen s and Reverse Phalen s Durkan s Carpal Compression Test Berger s Lumbrical Provocation Test Pronator Syndrome or Proximal Median Nerve Entrapment Resisted Elbow Flexion Resisted Pronation Resisted Finger Flexion Comparison of Clinical Signs and Symptoms: Carpal Tunnel Pronator Syndrome/Proximal Median Nerve 4

5 Cubital Tunnel Elbow Flexion Test Wartenburg s Sign Froment s Sign Claw Deformity Ulnar/Guyon s Tunnel Phalen s Reverse Phalen s What are the differences in sensory changes between Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome? 5

6 Radial Tunnel Syndrome Resisted Middle Finger Extension Resisted Supination Mill s Maneuver Tennis Elbow Test (Cozen s) Wartenburg s Syndrome irritation of the DSRN Finklestein s Test How do you differentiate between Radial Tunnel Syndrome and Tennis Elbow? How do you differentiate between DSRN irritation and DeQuervain s? 6

8 Adson s Maneuver The extremity remains supported in the patient s lap and the patient performs rotation and extension of the cervical spine to the tested side. The patient takes a deep breath, which is held between seconds. The examiner palpates the radial pulse for obliteration, decreased rate or intensity of beat. Sensory complaints may also be reproduced. Costoclavicular Maneuver Wright s Test Roos = EAST
