[0] Finkelstein's Test [1] The patient sits with the forearm supported on the table in a neutral position. The hand should be free to hang over the table edge. Instruct the patient to make a fist with the thumb inside the fingers, deviating the wrist to the ulnar side. [3] You may accentuate the test by using one hand to stabilize the distal forearm while placing your other hand over the fist's radial side to push the wrist into further ulnar deviation. This maneuver will cause a stretching in these tendons which is painful if tenosynovitis is present. Additional positive findings may be accomplished by asking the patient to begin with the wrist in full ulnar deviation and then to actively abduct or radially flex the wrist against your manual resistance. [2] 
Determines presence of tenosynovitis (De Quervain's disease or Hoffman's disease) in the abductor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis tendons of the thumb.
