The cervical spine is passively and maximally rotated away from the side being tested. While maintaining this position, the spine is gently flexed as far as possible moving the ear toward the chest. A test is considered positive when the lateral flexion movement is blocked. The reference standard is the presence of rib hypomobility on

Learn how to perform and interpret this test to assess first rib hypomobility and brachial plexus pain. The test involves rotating the head away from the painful side and trying to laterally flex it on the same side.

The Cervical Flexion-Rotation Test (CFRT), in contrast to other forms of manual examination, is an easily applied clinical test purportedly biased to assess dysfunction at the C1-C2 motion segment. The C1-C2 motion segment accounts for 50% of the rotation in the cervical spine. [1]

The cervical rotation lateral flexion (CRLF) test is frequently used in clinical practice to determine whether a thrust manipulation targeting the first rib should be performed. Objectives To evaluate the predictive validity of the CRLF test and manual examination in determining whether patients with neck pain are likely to benefit from

The cervical spine supports the head and is highly mobile, which allows multidirectional movement of the head. 2 Approximately 50% of the cervical spine rotation, flexion, and extension is due to

This test evaluates the amount of available cervical spine rotation and lateral flexion. It is a combination pattern that incorporates side-bending and rotation. How to Perform the Cervical Rotation Test. To perform the test have the client assume the starting position by standing erect with feet together and toes pointing forward.

Lindgren et al. proposed the Cervical Rotation Lateral Flexion test (CRLF] to detect elevated first rib dysfunction in patients with thoracic outlet syndrome. Interexaminer reliability of this test proved to be moderate to perfect in two different studies [ 6 , 11 ], with reported kappa values of 0.5 and 1.0, respectively.

The cervical rotation lateral flexion (CRLF) test is frequently used in clinical practice to assess for first rib dysfunction (Mastromarchi & May 2020) and determine whether or not a thrust manipulation targeting the first rib is performed (Fernandez de Las Penas et al., 2015). The CRLF test is performed with the patient in a seated position.

The Cervical Flexion-Rotation Test (CFRT) is widely used in the assessment of upper cervical spine mobility impairments and in the diagnosis of cervicogenic headache (CGH) by physiotherapist. Many studies investigated its different properties, and the results show that the CFRT has good construct validity in the measurement of C1-C2 rotation as

To perform the test, have your patient in supine-lying position and bring the cervical spine into maximal flexion. Then rotate your patient's head to the left and to the right until you reach end-range, which is usually reached at an average of 44° in healthy individuals. Range of motion can hereby be limited by either pain or firm

The cervical rotation lateral flexion test (CRLF test), developed earlier, was used to examine patients with brachialgia and thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) symptoms to detect possible restriction of the movement of the first rib. The test was performed for 23 patients, five of them both before and after treatment.

All cervical AROM tests (Neck flexion, extension, rotation and side-bending) performed with the patient in seated in an upright posture. Cervical ROM tests can be measured with an inclinometer. Inclinometer cervical ROM measurements have exhibited reliability coefficients ranging from 0.66 to 0.84 (ICC).
