How to Perform the Hoffman's Test: In Today's episode I talk about...
-Diagnoses we need to consider when a patient has a positive Hoffman’s test.
-How to perform the test.
-Recommendations for what to do when a patient has a positive Hoffman’s test.
✅ Here's how to perform the Hoffman's Test:
1. Patient needs to be relaxed (sitting or lying down)
2. Be sure the thumb and index fingers are slightly flexed and relaxed.
3. Hold or stabilize the patient’s middle finger at the distal IP joint.
4. Use your finger nail and “flick” the tip of the patient’s finger nail in a dorsal to palmar direction.
5. Keep an eye on the thumb and index finger.
6. The test is positive if the thumb and index finger flex and/or the thumb adducts. (could be both or one)
