The Spurling's test (also known as Maximal Cervical Compression Test and Foraminal Compression Test) is used during a musculoskeletal assessment of the cervical spine when looking for cervical nerve root compression causing Cervical Radiculopathy.
Cervical radiculopathy is defined as a disorder (compression, traction, irritation, herniated disk) affecting a spinal nerve root in the cervical Spine. Cervical radiculopathy typically produces neck and radiating arm pain, numbness, sensory deficits, or motor dysfunction in the neck and upper extremities.
5 Σεπ 2024 · Cervical radiculopathy is a clinical condition characterized by unilateral arm pain, numbness and tingling in a dermatomal distribution in the hand, and weakness in specific muscle groups associated with a single cervical nerve root.
8 Αυγ 2023 · The Spurling Test is designed to reproduce symptoms by compression of the affected nerve root. The cervical extension is used to induce/reproduce posterior bulging of the intervertebral disk. Rotation of the head causes narrowing of the neuroforamina in the cervical spine.
As an example, the nerve root that runs between the second cervical vertebra and the third cervical vertebra in the neck is described as the C3 nerve root. Cervical Facet Joint Irritation: Facet joint disorders are a common cause of neck problems in patients.
18 Ιουλ 2012 · Third, defining the efficacy of any physical examination usually requires comparing the observed results with those of an accepted gold standard. In the case of cervical radiculopathy, candidates for such a gold standard include evidence of root compression intraoperatively, radiographically (MRI, CT), or in electrophysiologic studies.
4 ημέρες πριν · Radiculopathy refers to the compression or irritation of a spinal nerve root, causing pain with sensory changes (e.g. numbness, paraesthesia) and/or motor changes (e.g. weakness, loss of dexterity). 1. Unlike radicular pain, which refers only to pain, radiculopathy encompasses any combined symptoms that stem from the affected nerve root.
