ULTT are performed to assess peripheral nerve mobility and compression or as a part of neurodynamic assessment. These tests are performed as a cluster to make a confirmatory diagnosis for nerve involvement. They are both diagnostic and therapeutic. Once the diagnosis is made the tests are done to mobilize the entrapped nerve.

Upper Limb Tension Test 2/ ULTT2 / ULNT B to Assess the Median, Axillary & Cutaneous Nerve. The upper limb tension test can be seen as the equivalent of the straight leg raise test for the neurological structures of the upper limbs.

These tests were first described by Elvey [2] and hence also known as Elvey tests, but most commonly called ULTT. The shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist and fingers are kept in specific position to put stress on particular nerves (nerve bias), [3] and a further modification in position of each joint is done as "sensitiser".

Elvey’s Upper Limb Tension Test 1 (ULTT A/Magee’s ULTT 1/ Median Nerve Bias) Instructions. 1. Have your patient lie down into a supine position. 2. Depress the patient’s shoulder or push your patient’s shoulder down. 3. Abduct the patient’s shoulder to 110 degrees. Ensure that the elbow is at 90 degrees. 4.

Variations of the ULTT aim to selectively differentiate between nerves of the upper limb by altering the type of movement and movement sequence. The ULTT1 and 2a aim to test the median nerve, the ULTT2b the radial nerve, and ULTT3 the ulnar nerve. The ability of the ULTT to selectively test specific nerve roots is however questionable. 3, 7, 8
