| A. 1. Referral of pain into the upper extremities/hand
2. Radiculopathy
3. Referral to mid-scapular area
4. Peripheralization with AROM
5. Increased symptoms with closing pattern (<60 SB, Rot ipsi)
6. +Spurling, ULTTA, Distraction TestB. 1. Lower pn and disability scores
2. Longer duration of symptoms
3. No signs of nerve root compression
4. No peripheralization/centralization with AROM
*often started in another category and progressed to conditioning C. 1. Higher level of pain and disability
2. Very recent onset of symptoms
3. Referred or radiating symptoms into upper quarter
