    This is due to impairment of the anterograde axonal transport mechanism, and with multiple lesions impairing anterograde axonal transport, the anterograde transport system will be most impacted just distal to the most distal entrapment. The basis of this theory was the high rate of cervical radiculopathy seen in patients with carpal tunnel ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_decompression

    When a single spinal nerve root is compressed, the resulting clinical outcome is termed radiculopathy, and is usually labeled according to the specific nerve root compressed (hence compression of the nerve root exiting the spinal column below the left-sided pedicle of the L5 vertebra will be diagnosed as "left L5 radiculopathy").

    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]
