Simple and Patient-Friendly Clinical Diagnostic Tests for de Quervain’s Disease.

Abstract

Abstract De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is a relatively common cause of radial sided wrist pain. The standard clinical tests, including both Eichhoff and Finkelstein’s tests, are very painful; even in a normal individual without any inflammation of the tendons. We propose a set of simple, gentle and more patient-friendly clinical tests with high accuracy.
