As a standard part of neurological examination, all interprofessional healthcare team members should be familiar with the Hoffman sign and its clinical ramifications. This includes clinicians (including nurse practitioners and physician assistants) and nurses, plus physical therapists and chiropractors. It is an easy test to perform, and understanding the significance can help direct the patient to the clinical care they need (eg, via appropriate referrals and further testing) and improve outcomes. This requires open communication between all members of the healthcare team across professional disciplines.
