Negative Neurodynamic Tests Do Not Exclude Neural Dysfunction in Patients With Entrapment Neuropathies

Abstract: ObjectiveTo examine differences in somatosensory phenotypes of patients with positive and negative neurodynamic tests and compare these with healthy participants.DesignCase-control study.SettingUniversity department.ParticipantsPatients with electrodiagnostically confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) (n=53) and people without CTS (n=26) participated in this study (N=79). Patients with CTS were subgrouped according to the results of the upper limb neurodynamic tests biasing the median nerve into patients with … Show more

“…Between them on the ventral side, the transverse wrist ligament is spread, commonly referred to as the flexor retinaculum [3]. CTS affects the median nerve by adjacent tissues, which in turn reduces its mobility in the canal [4][5][6]. Compression and reduction of lateral and longitudinal sliding of the mdian nerve is a direct cause of hand discomfort [7][8][9].…”

“…Forty-four healthy subjects (proportionally matched for age and gender) were recruited in Oxford, UK and Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia to establish z-scores for QST data in the CTS cohort. Part of the data from this cohort has previously been published (Baselgia, Bennett, Silbiger, & Schmid, 2017;Ridehalgh, Sandy-Hindmarch, & Schmid, 2018;Schmid et al, 2014).…”

“…assessing the integrity and ability of the nervous system to conduct afferent or efferent impulses (loss of function) (Baselgia et al, 2017). In addition, a thorough examination includes evaluation of increased mechanical sensitivity of the nervous system, since PNP can be present without or with minimal loss of nerve conduction (Schmid et al, 2009).…”
