Spine and extremity examination
spine
spinal curvature

The bulging intervertebral disc is located outside the nerve root, and the lumbar vertebra protrudes toward the affected side.
The bulging intervertebral disc is located inside the nerve root, and the lumbar vertebra protrudes toward the healthy side.

Pain on percussion
Direct percussion method: Check the thoracic and lumbar spine
indirect tapping method
Pain positive: spinal tuberculosis, spinal fracture, disc herniation
Cervical spondylosis or disc herniation
Indirect percussion of radiating pain in upper limbs
Positive traction test

special inspection

Jugular venous compression test (neck compression test, Naffziger test)
Increased pain in the upper limbs of the neck: cervical spondylosis
Worsening pain in lower limbs: radicular sciatica
neck rotation test
Head tilted back, neck rotation to the left and right, dizziness, headache, blurred vision: vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis
lumbosacral vertebrae
Swing test
The patient is lying on his back with his knees and hips flexed, holding his hands in front of his knees. The examiner holds his knees with his hands and sways from side to side. Pain is a positive sign: lumbosacral lesions.
Pick up test
Instruct the patient to pick up something on the ground. If the patient first squats down with one hand on his knees and approaches the object with his waist straight, the prompt is positive: lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle trauma and inflammation.
straight leg raise test
If the leg is raised less than 70 degrees and is accompanied by radiating pain on the back of the lower limb, it is positive:
Straight leg raise strengthening test
Lift your legs and apply pressure with your hands to dorsiflex the soles and ankle joints:
neck flexion test
Lift the patient's head with your hands and bend the neck forward. If there is radiating pain in the lower limbs, it is positive: 'Root-shoulder patient' with lumbar disc herniation.
Femoral nerve stretch test
Lifting the lower limbs, hyperextending the hip joint, and reflex pain in the front of the thigh: high lumbar disc herniation (lumbar 2-3 or waist 3-4)
upper limbs
length
