Q-10. Following are tuning fork tests except
a) Schwabach’s Test
b) Gelle’s test
c) Burn’s test
d) Rinne test
Answer: Burn’s test
Explanation:
The Burns’ test is a useful clinical test for differentiating between organic and non-organic causes of low back pain.
In this test the patient is asked to kneel on a bench with knees and hips flexed and place his fingers on the floor. The kneeling position relieves stress on the low back and tension on the sciatic nerve, so that patients with organic causes of low back pain are able to perform the test.
