A sоphоmоre linebаcker mаkes аn incredible tackle and then jogs off the field slightly bent over holding his right arm that is hanging from his shoulder. The athlete reports that while making the tackle his head was forced to the left and his right shoulder was pressed down. He tells you that he cannot move his arm and there is a burning sensation radiating from his shoulder down his arm. Your initial differential diagnosis includes cervical disc injury, cervical sprain or strain, acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation, brachial plexus injury, and thoracic outlet syndrome. After a few minutes, the athlete's symptoms begin to subside, and he begins to regain use of his arm. Evaluation reveals no obvious deformity of the cervical spine, shoulder, or thorax. Palpable muscle spasm is present in the scalene muscles on the right side. The patient is unable to abduct or flex his right arm above 15 degrees. Right grip strength is diminished. Cervical compression and distraction reveals paresthesia over the middle deltoid. Which special tests would allow you to rule out cervical disc involvement from your differential diagnosis? Select all that apply.
