Question
described on how you will perform vertebral artery test. (include the client position, description of test and positive sign.)
The Vertebral Artery Test is a clinical assessment. First, the client is positioned sitting. Then, the clinician rotates and laterally flexes the client's neck to one side and holds for 30 seconds. This is repeated on the other side. A positive sign is if the client experiences symptoms like dizziness, light - headedness, visual disturbances, or loss of balance. These symptoms suggest possible vertebro - basilar insufficiency (compromise in blood flow through the vertebral arteries).
