This video displays a proper Thoracic Sympathetic Slump Test. Special thank you to Dr. Matthew Rome and Equilibrium Physical Therapy: www.equilibriumpt.com
This test evaluates for sympathetic and/or discogenic symptoms of the Thoracic Spine. A positive test includes: 1.) Asymmetry 2.) Sensitization 3.) Reproduction of Concordant sign This test is has yet to be examined for its diagnostic accuracy. A positive test may warrant diagnostic imaging and further investigation of the patients signs and symptoms
This video is actually a demonstration of the Thoracic Slump Test, not to be confused with the Lumbar Slump Sit Test. The Lumbar Slump Sit Test examines for lumbar discogenic symptoms as does the SLR, but this video examines for sympathetic and discogenic symptoms of the Thoracic Spine.
Using your chin to maintain an axial load during rotation? I wouldn't advise that. Painful and strange for the patient. Unprofessional as well. A bit too close and personal. You can easily apply an axial load with your hands while guiding the patient into rotation.

This is a test I never heard of and like it though. Thank you for posting.

Left LE should be extended to sensitize more, not the R !!!
for some reason the audio fades at 1:31 as the 1st thing is mentioned that is needed for a (+) test. What is the first thing? thanks,
Would an SLR + slump test achieve the same thing?
