Wrinkle or wrinkling or shivel test is a special test for hands. Wrinkle test is used to check the nerve integrity of the hand by assessing the proper nervous response to an environmental stimulus i.e, water immersion for sustained period of time. Wrinkle test is used to diagnose a nerve injury within first month of injury or a digital denervation. | |||

Wrinkle or wrinkling or shivel test is a special test for hands. Wrinkle test is used to check the nerve integrity of the hand by assessing the proper nervous response to an environmental stimulus i.e, water immersion for sustained period of time. Wrinkle test is used to diagnose a nerve injury within first month of injury or a digital denervation.
Technique
[edit | edit source]
- Patient should be in sitting position
- Take warm water in a bowel
- Immerse patients affected or testing hand in the bucket
