Abstract

PurposeTo see the effect of different positioning of contralateral arm on neurodynamic test for the upper limb.Design Experimental study on healthy subjects. Methodology Upper Limb Neural Test 1 was performed by placing the contralateral arm in Neutral, Horizontal Abduction, Horizontal Adduction and Flexion positions. Range of elbow extension measurement on the ipsilateral side was taken with help of half circle goniometer recorded by fellow therapist by placing fulcrum on lateral epicondyle of humerus and movable and immovable arm along the shaft of radius and humerus respectively.
Statistical Tests Related t-test and one-way ANOVA was used to compare the results.
Results Paired t-test revealed significant difference in the median nerve sensitivity when Neutral and Horizontal Abduction positions of contralateral arm were compared. Results also demonstrated significant difference on comparison of Neutral versus Flexion positions whereas Neutral versus Horizontal Adduction positions demonstrated non-significant results.
Conclusion Upper Limb Neural Test(1) was affected by different positioning of contralateral arm.

Keywords Neurodynamics, Upper Limb Neural test, Elbow extension.
