🗑
foraminal compression test   HERNIATED DISC. downward force applied to pt's head while sitting, head held in side bend, + if pain radiates down arm on cervical sindbending side  
🗑
compression test   same position as above but w/o side bend, + is more of a disc herniation if pain w/o sidebend  
🗑
ULTT   upper limb tension test, stretching thru the movement of the nerve, it pain is produced, + for neural tension  
🗑

🗑
Adson's test   TOS - + if pt's pulse dec w/extended neck rotated to same side of the extended & abducted arm, while holding breath.  
🗑
Roos Test   TOS + if arms in "hands up" position, pt opens & closes for 3 min, numbness, pain, tingling, marked heaviness(RED FLAG) - TOS & vascular insufficiency  
🗑
