    Thank you so much Doctor; for both this video and the video on cervical spine radiculopathy. When you’re not able to use your hands. Life feels like it’s on hold and you feel handicapped because you are unable to do anything. Anything at all. This gives me hope so thank you for making these videos.

    Thank you for providing this video. I am a Veteran Service Officer and work with veterans daily who are asking for a rating due to nerve damage. This is a great help to show what type of test they should use to show the level of damage.

    Well thought out and prepared video that explains a good overall view of the process. My podiatrist recommended that I do this test, but she did not explain the nuts and bolts very well. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
