WRIST AND HAND ASSESSMENT SERIES PART 6: TINEL'S SIGN FOR CARPAL TUNNELS SYNDROME Another very common test for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the Tinel's sign that you might know from our ankle assessment series already. The Tinel's sign elicits pain on the mechanosensitive median nerve by tapping on the nerve's distribution and has a sensitivity of 67% and a specificity of 68%.
