Abstract

C E Daborn, R Stephenson, B Richardson University of East Anglia, Norwich Introduction Little evidence exists on the ability of the upper limb tension test (ULTT) to apply tension to a peripheral nerve in living subjects. Controversy surrounds the potential of such tests to provoke a protective muscle response and thus prevent any movement or stretch of the nerve. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of applying a ULTT, with median nerve bias, on the conduction characteristics of the median nerve.
