The Finkelstein Test

[MultiKellyta]

este test lo unico que hace es estirar las ramas sensitivas, este test a mi como fisioterapeuta no me confirma nada, entonces lo que hay que aplicarle es un test mas especifico como los test de la neurodinamica en la clinica, comprometiendo mas al nervio desde distal aproximal y asi este pueda deslizarse o no, con inclinaciones laterales en la cabeza con puestas en tencion, o la palpacion ....

don't think thats wrist flexion. I think that's wrist adduction.

@Smadabby probably true, but with the forearm in that position it is kind of like flexion. :)

@Smadabby ulnar deviation

[lmellick]

Agreed. I think we made that correction.

[dektooor]

This is Intersection syndrome where extensor policis brevis and abductor policis longus tendons cross over the extensor carpi radialis tendons

[DrRockower]

Sorry, that patient has "crossover" syndrome, not DeQuervein's.

@DrRockower You may be correct and it might be the inflammation of the intersection between the EPB/APL and the ECRL/ECRB muscles. It also might simply be tendonitis of the ECRL/ECRB muscles. Nevertheless, the Finkelstein test will be positive for all of these possibilities. Good comment!
