Zusammenfassung

Question: Is the FAIR-test a suitable tool in diagnostics of the piriform muscle-syndrome? Introduction: The ischiadic nerve passes the infrapiriform foramen and becomes compressed during the FAIR manoeuvre, consisting of hip flexion, adduction and internal rotation. By measuring the electrophysiological parameters of the ischiadic nerve, the test provides indirect answer about the muscle-diameter (for example hypertrophy). As described by the first authors (Fishmen et al.) the FAIR-test is positive with a latency difference higher than 1.86 msec. Method: 38 patients with the clinical suspect of a piriform muscl…
