An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The Vertebral Artery Test or Wallenberg Test is a physical exam for vertebral artery insufficiency. Commonly, the VA test involves cervical spine motion to an end-range position of rotation, extension or a combination of both. At this point, the physician assesses for vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) symptoms. If the patient has VBI symptoms during the test, it is considered a positive result and a contraindication for cervical manipulation. The specifics of VA testing vary among authors. The test is positive if the patient complains of dizziness, visual changes, or nystagmus occurs.
