Adson's Test a test for thoracic outlet syndrome; with the patient in a
sitting position, the hands resting on the thighs, the examiner palpates
both radial pulses as the patient rapidly fills the lungs by deep inhalation
and, holding the breath, hyperextends the neck and turns the head toward
the affected side. If the radial pulse on that side is decidedly or completely
obliterated, the result is positive.
Spurling Test The Spurling test is a medical maneuver used to assess
nerve root pain (aka radicular pain). The examiner turns the patient's head
to the affected side while extending and applying downward pressure to
the top of the patient's head. A positive Spurling's sign (i.e. the Spurling's
test is positive) is when the pain arising in the neck radiates in the direction
of the corresponding dermatome ipsilaterally. It is a variant of the foraminal
compression test (cervical compression test).
Patients with a cervical radiculopathy (compression of a nerve 'root' in the
neck) can present with a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness
,and weakness. Many other disorders can produce similar symptoms. In
addition to the clinical history, the neurological examination may show
signs suggesting a cervical (neck) radiculopathy.

of the meninges covering the brain and spinal cord). The test for Kernig

joint. If the leg cannot be completely extended due to pain, this is Kernig
sign.
