The diagram shows the mean pain distribution in the study group compared with both control groups. The group with spondylosis reported pain which was more often (p < 0.001) proximally located in response to the maneuvers compared with the study group. In patients with radiculopathy, performing the maneuvers in the reverse order provoked similar pain distribution in Maneuvers 5 and 6 (p = 0.33 and p = 0.46, respectively), but more often (p < 0.001) elicited proximally located pain thereafter (for Maneuvers 4 through 1).
