What Sign Is This ? Comment . . . The “Hoffman sign” is a neurological test used by healthcare professionals to assess certain reflexes in the hand. It is often used as part of a neurological examination to help diagnose various conditions, including disorders of the central nervous system. To perform the Hoffman sign test, the examiner will hold the patient’s hand in a relaxed position and then sharply flick the nail of the middle finger or the index finger. A positive Hoffman sign is when the patient’s thumb and fingers flex or twitch involuntarily in response to this stimulus. It can be an indicator of certain neurological issues, such as spinal cord compression, multiple sclerosis, or other central nervous system abnormalities. #learnontiktok #medtiktok #doctor #viralvideo @Dr. Melissa Shepard
