Boards 4 orthos Flashcards
Naffzinger’s
Seated, digitally compress both internal jugular veins for 30 secs, finish with coughing (Doc is post) - positive = pain in peripheral distribution
Milgram’s
Double SLR - Supine, raise & hold legs (30 secs) 3 inches off the table. - positive = LBP (disk herniation/strain) or inability to maintain = hip flexor issues / deconditioned
Swallowing test
seated instruct patient to swallow - pain with swallowing = SOL, Cx fx, tumor, sprain/strain
Jackson’s test
Seated, rotation and compress = (IVF encrouchment)
Spurlings test
Seated, fist strike after “maximal position” = Disc and IVF encrouchment
O’Donoghue’s
Varies, active with resistance then passive rotation of neck - positive = pain (strain/sprain)
Sternal Compression
Supine, pressure on sternum (doc pushes down on patient sternum) -> lateral rib pain = rib fracture, midline pain = costochondritis
Libman’s
Seated, pressure on mastoid - assessment of patient pain threshold
George’s (Maigne’s)
Seated, cervical rotation & extension for 45 seconds - positive = nausea, dizziness, nystagmus
DeKleyn’s
Supine George’s test
Hallpike’s (Nylan Barrany)
Supine, extend head off table, add rotation & lateral flexion then unsupported extension
Reverse Bakody’s
Seated hand on head = positive for TOS when increase in pain
Allen’s Maneuver
Seated, flex elbow 90, ext arm horizontal, ext, rotated arm, patient rotates head away (check pulse) = positive for TOS if decreased pulse
Mazion shoulder rock
Seated touch opposite shoulder & bring elbow up and down (reverse Dugas) = Pain is significant shoulder pathology
Calloway’s
Seated, measure vertical shoulder circumferences (increased girth) = dislocation
Dawbarn’s
Seated Press on bursa while abducting arm (decreased pain after 90 degrees) = subacromial bursitis
Supraspinatus arc
Standing, resist patient arm abduction throughout entire 180 degrees - positive for pain at 10-20 and 90-110 for supraspinatus issues
Supraspinatus press
Seated, 1) With patient at arm 90 degrees abducted, resist abduction 2) angle arms forward 30 degrees and internally rotate, resist abduction (weakness in 1 = deltoid, weakness in 2 = supraspinatus)
Wrinkel shrivel
Seated, place hand in tepid water for 5 minutes - positive = no pad wrinkle (denervation)
Bunnel - Littler’s
Seated 1) with MCP extended, flex (test) PIP 2) With MCP flexed, flex (test PIP (decreased motion in 2 = PIP joint problem, increased motion in 2 = intrinsic muscle problem)
Retinaculum test
Same as bunnel-littler’s except using the PIP to test DIP flexion
Finsterer’s
Seated, strike base of 3rd metacarpal = Kienboch’s Disease
Adam’s positions
Adam’s test in 3 positions: Standing, kneeling, sitting = scoliosis
Forestier’s Bowstring
Standing, feel paraspinals, as patient laterally flexes = ipsilateral contraction = AS
Chest expansion
Seated erect or standing, tap measure at T4 level (or rib 6), patient expires, then inspires = positive less than 2 inches male or 1.5 inches in females = AS
