Detailed explanation-1: -Phalen’s Test was first described in 1957 and is one of the most widely used clinical tests to evaluate for carpal tunnel syndrome [5]. There are many versions of the Phalen’s test, but they all involve prolonged wrist flexion for up to one minute to increase pressure in the carpal tunnel.
Detailed explanation-2: -A reverse Phalen’s maneuver involves wrist and finger extension held for 1 minute. We showed that this maneuver results in a significantly higher intracarpal canal hydrostatic pressure as compared to a traditional Phalen’s or a modified Phalen’s maneuver.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the Phalen’s Maneuver? The clinical term “Phalen’s Maneuver” refers to a provocative test used in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. We also know this as a wrist-flexion test 1. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) refers to a condition that puts pressure on a nerve in your wrist.
