Wartenberg's sign is a neurological sign consisting of involuntary abduction of the fifth (little) finger, caused by unopposed action of the extensor digiti minimi. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This commonly results from weakness of some of the ulnar nerve innervated intrinsic hand muscles -in particular the palmar interosseous muscle to the little finger ...
Cheiralgia paraesthetica (Wartenberg's syndrome) is a neuropathy of the hand generally caused by compression or trauma to the superficial branch of the radial nerve. [1] [2] The area affected is typically on the back or side of the hand at the base of the thumb, near the anatomical snuffbox, but may extend up the back of the thumb and index finger and across the back of the hand.
Wartenberg's syndrome is a specific mononeuropathy, caused by entrapment of the superficial branch of the radial nerve. [1] Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and weakness of the posterior aspect of the thumb. Also called Cheiralgia paresthetica. [citation needed]
These include Wartenberg's migratory sensory neuropathy, Wartenberg's sign, Wartenberg’s syndrome, and the Wartenberg wheel. [4] Wartenberg is sometimes incorrectly credited as the inventor of the Wartenberg wheel. [15]. According to Wartenberg, this device, used to test skin sensitivity, was in widespread use in Europe when he lived in ...
Froment sign is the flexion of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb rather than adduction of the entire thumb. Note that the flexor pollicis longus is nearly always innervated by the anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve. Simultaneous hyperextension of the thumb MCP joint is indicative of ulnar nerve compromise. This is also known ...
Wartenberg's migratory sensory neuropathy (also known as Wartenberg's migrant sensory neuritis) is a condition affecting the sensory cutaneous nerves of the limbs, characterised by sudden onset of severe pain upon the movement of a limb that stretches a particular nerve, for example, when turning a key. The condition comes and goes with those ...
A Wartenberg wheel, also called a Wartenberg pinwheel or Wartenberg neurowheel, is a medical device for neurological use. The wheel was designed to test nerve reactions ( sensitivity ) as it rolled systematically across the skin . [ 1 ]
