What does positive soto hall test mean?

A positive Soto-Hall test indicates potential irritation or injury to the cervical spine or surrounding structures. During the test, the patient experiences pain when the examiner flexes the neck while stabilizing the thoracic spine, suggesting possible conditions like cervical disc herniation or other cervical spine issues. It is often used as part of a physical examination to assess neck-related problems. However, further diagnostic imaging or evaluation may be necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
