Question

a chiropractor performs a series of tests on a 53-year-old patient with suspected cervical radiculopathy. positive spurling’s test, cervical distraction, upper limb tension test, and ipsilateral rotation <60° are noted. what is this combination called?
○ lower motor neuron signs
○ wainner’s cluster
○ jendrassik maneuver
○ shoulder abduction relief sign

Explanation:

Wainner's Cluster is a specific set of clinical tests (including Spurling's Test, cervical distraction, upper limb tension test, and restricted ipsilateral rotation <60°) used to diagnose cervical radiculopathy. The other options do not match this combination: Lower Motor Neuron Signs involve weakness, atrophy, and reflex changes; Jendrassik Maneuver is used to enhance reflex responses; Shoulder Abduction Relief Sign is a single sign for radiculopathy, not a cluster of these tests.

Answer:

Wainner's Cluster
