DEEP TENDON REFLEX TESTING FOR LUMBAR RADICULOPATHY To make our neurological examination of the lower limbs/umbosacrall spine complete we should always include reflex testing next to myotome and dermatome testing that we've shown in the last 2 days. Watch the video to learn how to test the most important reflexes in case of suspected lumbosacral radiculopathy! P.S. All of our videos including test description, statistical values and research articles can be found in our Assessment E-Book in this

In case of the cervical spine, the most common causes of nerve root pathology are herniated discs which account for about 20 to 25% of cases, and degenerative disc disease which accounts for 70 to 75%. The highest incidence for cervical ne
