Symptom of Conjugate Elbow Abduction

Concomitant elbow abduction sign

This symptom is also called persistent concomitant movement syndrome. The elbow is the lower bone that protrudes forward from a person's arm. Normally, when the arm is at rest and raised above the shoulder, the elbow remains in place. However, with some diseases, such as hemiparesis (partial paralysis of one side of the body), the elbow may suddenly turn towards the back. This movement is accompanied by raising the shoulder girdle, which leads to unpleasant sensations and physical pain.

Causes of the syndrome Origin The causes of the syndrome have not yet been studied

The abduction sign is a type of spontaneous elevation of the arm and wrist that occurs without the patient's awareness or control. It is an involuntary act that is present in patients with hemiplegia, a physical deformity of the arms and shoulders caused by spinal injury.
