MOPOV: You’re a DPT student practicing special tests and accidentally get a positive Allen test on your friend 👀
The Allen Test assesses the radial and ulnar arteries.
We hold both, have the patient repeatedly open/close their hand, then release one artery at a time to observe the return of circulation.
When they pump their hand it turns white, and when the pt stops holding their artery, the color returns.
While this doesn’t diagnose anything by itself, it’s a great reminder of how interconnected circulation, tissue health, and hand function really are!! 🖐️ 🩸
PT school keeps me humble, you think you’re just practicing for an exam, and suddenly you’re running a full assessment on your friends 😭🙃
For real I feel like we can’t go a single lab without someone testing positive for a special test😂😂😂😂 #spt #dpt #fitness #physicaltherapist #physiotherapy #allentest
