ULTT 3 – Median Nerve Bias

  • Therapist places right hand/fist above patient’s right shoulder to stabilize
  • Patient’s right shoulder abducted to 90º, elbow flexed, forearm pronated, wrist and fingers extended
    Elbow is then maximally flexed

 

  • Maintaining all the components achieved so far, the shoulder is then abducted as though placing the palm of the patient’s right hand over the ear
  • The ROM and the patient’s response is noted
    Patient is then asked to side bend the head away and any change in pain response is noted
