This was a tricky one…
*Based on the times symptoms are more present (night and with computer work) – more suggesting carpal tunnel.
* The sensory findings (including thenar eminence) could still be caused by C6 radiculopathy
* TOS most commonly effects lower cervical nerves and no mention of shoulder/upper arm pain
Thank you for discussing Nick!
The specificity of the new test is 25% which means that 75% of ALL negatives are false negatives. So this is considered poor ability of the test to rule out – MANY false negatives. What am I missing?
