Neurological Differential Diagnosis 101 / 1 Credit

Learning Objectives:

1. Assess the diagnostic validity and reliability of assessing hip
   abductor power for differentiating between lumbar radiculopathy and
   fibular (peroneal) neuropathy as a root cause of foot drop.
2. Determine the anatomical basis and clinical value of the Abduction Extension Cervical Nerve Root Stress Test (AECNRST).
3. Explore and compare the validity, responsiveness and predictive
   value of the Fingertip-to-Floor Test and Straight Leg Raising Test in
   acute/subacute low back pain.
4. Compile a contemporary list of potential mechanisms to explain the
   occurrence of dual nerve disorders, or ‘double-crush’ syndrome.
5. Evaluate the consistency of the temporal relationship between intervertebral disc degeneration and subsequent herniation.
