Question

phalens test, 90° wrist flexion for 60 seconds, reproduces symptoms of:
○ ulnar tunnel syndrome
○ carpal tunnel syndrome
○ tarsal tunnel syndrome
○ myofascial pain syndrome

Explanation:

Phalen's test is a clinical test used to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. In this test, the patient's wrists are flexed at 90 degrees for 60 seconds. If this reproduces symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or pain in the distribution of the median nerve (which is affected in carpal tunnel syndrome), it is considered a positive test for carpal tunnel syndrome. Other options like ulnar tunnel syndrome, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and myofascial pain syndrome have different anatomical locations and diagnostic tests.

Answer:

Carpal tunnel syndrome
