Babinski Weils
Walk forward and backward
Same side lean both times = Cerebellar lesion
Different side leans = CN VIII lesion

Dorsal Column Lesion
Visual Fields
CNII
Superior, Inferior, Lateral and Medial fields
Direct/Indirect Light reflex
CNII and III
Mittlemeyer
Pt marches in place, then with eyes closed for 10sec
Pt will lean/rotate to side of CNVIII lesion

Bakody Maneuver
Hand on Pt. head
Relief of cervical or UE pain
Cervical Distraction
Distract Pts. Head
Relief = nerve root issue (osteophytes) Pain = Capsular inflammation
Shoulder depression
Push shoulder down with Pt leaning head away
Increase pain = radicular/nerve root
O’donaghue’s
Patient goes Via ROM and then with resistance applied
Pain without resistance = ligamentous, capsular or articular injury
Pain with resistance = muscle, musclotendinous injury
Libman’s
Apply mastoid pressure
pain = Low threshold/Emotional compnent
Triad of dejerine
Increase in Sx with sneezing, coughing, and pooping
S.O.L –> Disc herniation
Valsalva’s
Pt blows on thumb
S.O.L –> Disc herniation
Milgram’s Test
Pt is supine.
Feet elevated off table (3-6 inches) for 15 seconds
S.O.L –> Disc herniation
Weak musculature
Allen’s test
Pump hand above head, close the radial and ulnar arteries
Both have delayed flushing = atherosclerosis, TOS, stenosis
One vessel = fibrosis, local callus formation
Adson’s/ Reverse adsons
Patient looks up and towards the side tested
Decrease pulse patency
Entrapment of subclavian artery/brachial plexus in scalene triangle, cervical rib
Edens / Solder’s position
Shoulders are brought back and down and hold breath ||| Soldier’s (passive)
Decrease pulse patency
Entrapment of subclavian artery/brachial plexus in scalene triangle
ROOS
Arms at 90 and shoulder at 90
Traction pec minor
Pain, pallor, cramping, UE pain –> TOS
Hostage position
Radial pulse at side, the arm at 90 and shoulder at 90
Traction pec minor
Pain, pallor, cramping, UE pain –> TOS
Wright’s test
Radial pulse at side, the arm raised until pulse diminishes
Mid-axillary line and atleast 120
Traction pec minor
Pain, pallor, cramping, UE pain –> TOS
Alleys scratch test
ROM
