Schober's test is a physical examination used in family medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, rheumatology to measure the ability of a patient to flex the lower back. Procedure [ edit ]
The researchers specifically looked at data from clinical exams that gave patients a “Flexitest” that checked how flexible they were over were in 20 body joint movements, including those in ...
A meta-analysis in 2008 concluded that the diagnostic accuracy of individual tests in the shoulder examination was limited, specifically that the Hawkins–Kennedy test and the Speed test have no discriminatory ability to diagnose specific shoulder pathology, and that results of studies evaluating other tests were too statistically ...
Here are three tests to start, as outlined in Araújo’s book, “Flexitest: An Innovative Flexibility Assessment Method.” Test your wrist flexibility by seeing how far you can comfortably ...
Arm span or reach (sometimes referred to as wingspan, or spelled armspan) is the physical measurement of the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a 90° angle. The arm span measurement is usually very close to the person's height.
The Neer impingement test is a test designed to reproduce symptoms of rotator cuff impingement through flexing the shoulder and pressure application. Symptoms should be reproduced if there is a problem with the supraspinatus or biceps brachii. [1] This test is also associated with the Hawkins-Kennedy Test and Jobe's Test. [2]
The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is a neuropsychological test of set-shifting, which is the capability to show flexibility when exposed to changes in reinforcement. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The WCST was written by David A. Grant and Esta A. Berg.
The patient is instructed to actively supinate the forearm, externally rotate the humerus, and flex the elbow against the resistance of the examiner. [1] [2] Referred pain by the patient results in one of positive findings. Modification involves the examiner resisting elbow flexion as the humerus moves into external rotation. [4]
