Question

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

Explanation:

This combination of positive Spurling's Test, positive cervical distraction, positive upper limb tension test, and ipsilateral rotation less than 60° is a specific set of findings used to identify cervical radiculopathy, known as Wainner's Cluster. The other options refer to unrelated tests/signs: Shoulder Abduction Relief Sign is a single test for radiculopathy, Jendrassik Maneuver enhances reflex testing, and Lower Motor Neuron Signs involve weakness, atrophy, etc.

Answer:

Winner's Cluster
