Detailed explanation-1: -The square wrist sign-The square sign test is an evaluation to determine the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome. The test is positive if the ratio of the thickness of the wrist divided by the width of the wrist is great than 0.7.
Detailed explanation-2: -What do the results of a Tinel’s sign test show? If you have a positive test, you’ll feel tingling when your healthcare provider taps on you. This may indicate nerve damage or irritation at that site. If the test is negative, you won’t feel any tingling.
Detailed explanation-3: -The test is positive (abnormal) if the patient experiences characteristic symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (pain and paresthesias along the distribution of the median nerve, i.e., thumb, index finger, and middle finger). [
Detailed explanation-4: -Phalen’s maneuver is positive when flexing the wrist to 90 degrees for 1 minute elicits symptoms in the median nerve distribution. Tinel’s sign is positive when tapping over the carpal tunnel elicits symptoms in the distribution of the median nerve.
