@entity1 @entity602 @entity3799 @entity1745 @entity850
INTRODUCTION: @entity3799 ( @entity3799 ) represents a spectrum of pathologies with progressive compression of the spinal cord. The clinical signs and symptoms play a key role in diagnosis. The characteristic hand @entity602 signs are of significant clinical importance. The aim of this descriptive study was to report a relatively easy to elicit new hand @entity602 sign. The basis for this is finger and wrist flexor disinhibition, which is used for the spinal specificity of @entity1745 at or above the C5/6 level. METHODS: The new clinical test was conducted in 68 @entity1 with a mean age of 62 (range 54-68) years. The @entity1 were divided into two groups according to their level of @entity850 . Group 1 (n is 58) @entity1 had @entity850 at or above the C5/6 level, while Group 2 (n is 10) @entity1 had @entity850 at or below the C6/7 level. All these @entity1 were clinically evaluated and their level of @entity850 was confirmed using magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: The Wazir sign was observed and well reproducible in 54 (93%) @entity1 (Group 1); the @entity602 signs of three @entity1 were positive (Hoffman's sign, finger escape and ten-second test). In Group 2, the Wazir sign was not reproducible, but the @entity602 signs were also positive in three @entity1 . CONCLUSION: The Wazir hand @entity602 sign was found to be consistently present in our @entity1 , in addition to the other hand @entity602 signs.
