Abstract

SummaryAlthough it is becoming increasingly common. Upper Limb Disorder (ULD) remains difficult to define, test or treat. This study uses 16 patients and 16 controls to demonstrate how neural involvement in this condition may be examined through use of the Straight Leg Raise (SLR) test. Results showed that all patients exhibited a positive SLR, with range, limiting factors and subjective response significantly different (P<0.0005) from the control group. The clinical presentation and characteristic responses of a group of ULD sufferers is highlighted, and the implications of altered neural sensitivity, mobility and function are discussed.
