John Gibbons is a registered Osteopath, Lecturer and Multi-published Author and is demonstrating how to perform the upper limb tension (ULTT) test for the Median Nerve and this nerve originates from C5 to T1 from the Brachial plexus and supplies some of the flexors of the forearm and the LOAF muscles in the hand – lumbricles, opponens pollicis, abductor and flexor pollicis brevis. This nerve can get damaged within the carpal tunnel and altered sensation to the thumb, index, middle and half the ring finger and weakness of the pinch grip and thenar eminence and phalens and tinel tests are good to detect pathology.
John shows you in his other neurological videos to assess the nerve root level of the adductors (obturator nerve through L3 reflex), patella tendon (femoral nerve through L4 reflex), semitendinosus (tibial / sciatic nerve of L5 reflex) and Achilles / plantar (tibial nerve of sciatic through S1 reflex) and a normal response is classified as 2++. Any reduced hypo-reflex (1+) or increased hyper-reflex (3+++) with Clonus and Babinski positive as might indicate some form of upper motor neurone lesion like Multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord tumour or brain injury. Any altered reflex will need further investigation as a possibility of disc or neural pathology. These techniques and more is taught on the Neurological Master-Class at the University of Oxford.
