👉 There are 3 upper limb tension tests: median (ULTT1), radial (ULTT2), and ulnar (ULTT3). The radial nerve supplies the posterior portion of the upper limb. It innervates the medial and lateral heads of the triceps muscle, as well all 12 muscles in the posterior forearm. The radial nerve is composed of fibers from the ventral roots of spinal nerves C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1.

💪 The Upper Limb Tension Tests (ULTTs) are designed to assess the length and mobility of the neurological structures of the upper limb. There are 3 upper limb tension tests: 1⃣ Median (ULTT1) 2⃣ Radial (ULTT2) 3⃣ Ulnar (ULTT3). The median nerve originates from the lateral and medial cords of the brachial plexus.
