Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Testing for the Tinel sign consists of tapping lightly over the median nerve, and it is positive if the patient perceives paresthesia that radiates distally.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is Tinel’s sign? Tinel’s sign is a tingling or “pins and needles” feeling you get when your healthcare provider taps your skin over a nerve. Tinel’s sign may be an indicator that you have nerve compression or damage where they’re tapping.
Detailed explanation-3: -The doctor will tap or press on the median nerve in your wrist with a reflex hammer. If your fingers tingle or if you feel an electric-shock-like sensation, the test is positive. You may have carpal tunnel syndrome. This is also known as the wrist-flexion test.
