INVERTED SUPINATOR SIGN FOR CERVICAL MYELOPATHY According to Cook et al. (2009), the Inverted Supinator Sign has a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 78% in the detection of cervical cord compression. Like the Hoffmann's sign, it does not have a huge clinical impact as a stand-alone test, but is helpful when used in conjuction with other tests. Again, if you suspect CSM, this needs to be discussed with the patient's GP or specialist as surgery might be necessary to prevent irreversible dama

Why do spinal injuries cause that kind of reflex? Sounds wild, but it’s actually a textbook example of autonomic dysregulation. When the brain loses control over the spinal cord (especially above T6), the sacral reflex arcs (S2–S4) can go rogue… leading to reflexogenic 🍆. It’s not about arousal. It’s about physiology doing its weird, wonderful thing. 🎬 Full breakdown visuals in this episode of “Why does…” 👨‍⚕️ Tag a student or colleague who needs to see this one. 📚 Learn. Adapt.
