Elbow extension range of motion in degrees during upper limb neurodynamic testing
(ULNT). Full elbow extension to neutral is defined as 0°. Negative
numbers represent a limitation in attaining full extension (flexed position).
The affected limb and unaffected limb are presented for women with breast cancer
(BC) and were subdivided into those with the following complications: 1) pain in
affected limb with presence of lymphedema (+Pain/+LE), 2) pain in the affected
limb without lymphedema (+Pain/−LE), 3) no pain in the affected limb with
presence of edema (−Pain/+LE), and 4) no pain in the affected limb
without lymphedema (−Pain/−LE). Group mean values are presented
with standard deviation error bars. The following identify statistical
differences; asterisks (*) indicate significant within group differences between
limbs, cross (†) indicates significant between group differences for the
affected limb, double cross (††) indicates significant between
group differences for the unaffected limb.
