Look out for these signs[2]: 🎗️Weakness: •Wrist extension •Abduction of thumb 🎗️Diminished sensation: •Back of thumb, index, middle, and 1/2 ring finger •back of forearm 🎗️Abnormal reflexes Triceps Brachialradialis 🎗️Neurodynamics The upper limb neurodynamic test for the radial nerve (ULNT2b) is performed with the patient in supine. The joints are moved sequentially and to the end of range or until symptoms are produced. Patients are to be instructed to report the onset of any sensation such as stretch, tingling or pain anywhere in the arm or neck. ➡️ULNT2b sequencing: •Shoulder girdle depression •Elbow extension •Shoulder internal rotation •Pronation •Wrist flexion •Shoulder abduction If a sensation is provoked, differentiation between neurogenic and non-neurogenic sources of pain should be performed. This is achieved by the addition of sensitising movements distant to the pain such as: •Ipsilateral and contralateral cervical lateral flexion •Wrist extension or flexion •Shoulder girdle elevation It is good practice to perform the test on the unaffected arm first, to establish what is 'normal' for the patient. An ULNT is considered positive if it reproduced the patient's symptoms and a neurogenic source of pain is identified. 🎀PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT FOR RADIAL NERVE INJURY. •Cryotherapy. •Thermotherapy. •Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). •Ultrasound. •Massage therapy. •Strengthening exercises.
