Degree of Dupuytren’s Contracture
Record flexion contractores found in dupuytrens contracture
1: add degree of AF at MCP , Prox ITP and Distal ITP of each affected digit , this will give a total number of degree of flexion deformity for each finger
Stages
0- no flexion deformity , only thickening of palmar fascia and nodules are present
1- 0-45 most occur MCP
2- 45-90 at MCP
3-90-115 including Distal ITP
4- greater than 135 terminal phalanges become Hyperextend , while other are flexed
Phalen’s test
P- presence of Carpal tunnel or compression of median nerve
Clt
1: seated
2: instruct client put Back hand Together , wrist flex , elbow held horizontally , shoulder are not elevated
3: ask client to strongly compress the back of hand together 1 minute ( this produce maximum compress within carpal tunnel )
+ = tingling reported in thumb , index finger , middle finger and lateral half of the ring finger is positive for carpal tunnel
Reverse Phalen’s
Variation on Phalen
1: put palms of hands together and to strongly compress the palms together for 1 minute
