Phalen's Maneuver

A common test for CTS is Phalen's Maneuver. Put the backs of your hands together while keeping your arms parallel to the floor and your fingers pointing down. Hold your hands together firmly. If within a minute, you experience one, or a combination, of the symptoms, you probably have the disorder. Don't hold this position for more than a minute or after any symptoms occur.
