Tinel's sign and Phalen's tests can be used to assess for CTS. They may be administered by the physical therapist (PT) or occupational therapist (OT). Tinel's sign involves tapping at the volar wrist while Phalen's test involves maintaining maximum wrist flexion for 60 seconds. In both tests, a positive sign is indicated by numbness, tingling ...
Tinel's sign is performed by lightly tapping the median nerve just proximal to flexor retinaculum to elicit paresthesia. [ 5 ] Durkan's test , carpal compression test , or applying firm pressure to the palm over the nerve for up to 30 seconds to elicit paresthesia.
The mean hospital charges in nominal dollars increased from $9,257 to $27,962 between 1993 and 2006. 37.1% of patients in 2006 presenting with median nerve injuries needed acute repair. Median nerve injuries were the least likely to be admitted to the emergency room out of all peripheral nerve injuries (median nerve 68.89%, ulnar nerve 71.3% ...
In Autumn 1915, he published his famous article about the distal regeneration sign, then baptised Tinel's sign. [2] [3] In 1916, he published in French an amazing book about the cutaneous nerves distribution of the whole body. Each aesthesiography is a mapping of the hypoaesthetic area induced by the nerve injury. [4]

Intermittent or static numbness in the small finger and ulnar half of the ring finger, weakness or atrophy of the first dorsal interosseous, positive Tinel sign over the ulnar nerve proximal to the cubital tunnel, and positive elbow flexion test (elicitation of paresthesia in the small and ring ...
Diagnosis is based upon physical examination findings. Patients' pain history and a positive Tinel's sign are the first steps in evaluating the possibility of tarsal tunnel syndrome. X-ray can rule out fracture. MRI can assess for space occupying lesions or other causes of nerve compression. Ultrasound can assess for synovitis or ganglia.
