Abstract:Study Design:
Clinical experimental diagnostic study.
Objective:
The objective of the study was to investigate cervical spine dynamics including changes of the cervical foramina in patients experiencing intermittent arm radiculopathy.
Summary of Background Data:
Cervical foraminal stenosis is a frequent cause of radicular arm pain. The Spurling test, while specific, lacks the precision to identify symptomati… Show more
