Discrepencies in ROM may indiciate muscle ______ or _____
weakness, disorder
36
Use goniometer where there is ________ or _________ ROM
INCREASED or LIMITED
37
Assessing Muscle Strength Scale
1. No evidence of movement = 0 2. Trace of movement = 1 3. Full ROM but not against gravity (passive movement) = 2 4. Full ROM, but not against resistance= 3 5. Full ROM against gravity and some resistance but weak = 4 6. Full ROM against gravity, full resistance = 5
38
What may weakness result from?
Underlying muscle disorder, pain, fatigue, overstretching
39
TMJ is a __________ joint
condylar synovial
40
Which is the most active joint in the body?
TMJ
41
How do you assess TMJ ROM?
Open and close; lateral movement; protrusion and retraction
42
How do you assess TMJ muscle stregnth?
Done by asking patient to clench teeth
43
To assess the ROM for the shoulder, you would assess the 6 cardinal directions, what are they?
1. forward flexion- 180 degrees 2. extension- 50 degrees 3. abduction- 180 degrees( away from midline) 4. adduction- 50 degrees (coming back to midline, adding to midline) 5. internal rotation- 90 degrees 6. external rotation- 90 degrees
44
What are dynamic stabilizers of the shoulder?
4 rotator cuff muscles “SITS” supraspinatus, infra spinatus, teres minor, subscapularis
45
What are the static stabilizers of the shoulder?
= incapable for movement bone structure, ligaments of shoulder girdle itself, the labrum, glenohumeral ligaments
46
What can cause scapular winging?
weakness in trap, or serratus anterior or never injury
47
Shoulder adduction involves nerve roots________ to ________. What is the main muscle of adduction?
C5-T1 Pectoralis Major, though the Latissiumus and others contribute as well
48
What is the positive findings for the cross over test?
Pain with adduction AC joint tenderness and compression
49
What is the positive apley scratch test mean?
Pain with both motions suggests rotator cuff disorder or adhesive capsulitis
50
Neer impingement positive test
Pain- subacromial impingement, RTC tendonitis
51
Hawkins-Kennedy positive finding
Pain – impingement of supraspinatus
52
Gerber/Lift-Off positive test
Inability to move against resistance / keep hand in place (Subscapularis pathology)
53
Shoulder- Supraspinatus (Empty Can) Test positive test
Supraspinatus weakness
54
Shoulder- Glenohumeral Instability Tests
1. Apprehension test- externally rotating shoulder, positive finding would be instability where they pt arm will feel like it will pop and watch for facial grimace 2. Relocation Test- push their GH joint straight down, thats a positive relocation test, Confirms GH instability
55
Shoulder- Speed's Maneuver for Bicipital Tendonitis positive test
Biceps tendonitis, this will produce pain.
56
Assessing ROM for elbow
Flexion(160 degrees); extension (180 degrees); pronation (90 degrees); supination (90 degrees)
57
Olecranon Bursitis
collection of fluid, some cases it needs to be drained
58
Elbow nodules
-Subcutaneous nodules on the extensor surface of the forearm near the elbow -Can be associated with Rheumatoid arthritis or gouty tophi
59
Tinel sign-- Elbow
trying to get ulnar nerve,starts at elbow going down pinky and ulnar aspect of ring finger. positive is pain, numbness/tingling shooting down that aspect of fingers
60
Positive Cozen Test
Lateral Epicondylitis "tennis elbow" Pain along extensior tendor/lateral epicondyle - testing for tennis elbow remember tennis you use back hand, leading with lateral aspect of elbow.
61
Positive Mill Test
Lateral Epicondylitis "tennis elbow" flexor muscle group, Pain/Tenderness over medial epicondyle, tenderness over wrist flexors
62
Assess ROM of hands/wrists
Flexion of fingers (90 degrees); hyperextension of fingers (30 degrees); flexion of wrist (90 degrees); hyperextension of wrist (70 degrees); rotation of hand (20 degrees); ulnar motion (55 degrees)
63
Heberden & Bouchard nodes
Bony overgrowth in distal interphalangeal joints, they are hard they are nontender usually 2-3 mm in diameter but can be larger, associated with osteoarthritis. Distal- they are called Heberden nodules. Proximal- Bouchard nodes
64
Swan neck and Ulnar deviation and subluxation of metacarpophalangeal joints are associated with
RA
65
Boutonniere deformity
Fusiform swelling or spindle shaped enlargement of the PIP Extension/flexion then extension again. associated with RA
66
Why is it important to palpate the anatomic snuffbox?
scaphoid bone it is important because of fallen outstretched hand which can fracture scaphoid bone. This bone if fractures wont show up on initial imaging. missed fracture can cause avascular necrosis
67
CTS
Channel beneath palmar surface of wrist and proximal hand -Thumb/Finger flexors -Median Nerve Flexor Retinaculum -Holds tendons in place -Median N lives between flexor retinaculum and tendon sheath
68
What does the ulnar nerve innervate?
ulnar aspect of the 4th digit and the pinky finger
69
Weakness of with Thumb Abduction is associated with
CTS
70
During thumb abduction, one is isolating the strength of
of the abductor pollicis brevis muscle (innervated by median nerve)
71
Hand & Wrist- Tinel’s Sign positive test
A tingling sensation radiating from the wrist to the hand in the distribution of the median nerve is a Positive Tinel sign suggestive of CTS
72
Hand & Wrist – Phalens positive test
Numbness and paresthesia in the distribution of the median nerve suggestive of CTS
73
Hand & Wrist- Allen Test
Release the occlusive pressure on the ulnar artery. You should notice a flushing of the hand within 5 to 15 seconds. This denotes that the ulnar artery if patent and has good blood flow. This normal flushing of the hand is considered to be a positive modified Allen’s test. If the hand does not flush within 5-15 seconds, it indicates that ulnar circulation is inadequate or nonexistent; in this situation, the radial artery supplying arterial blood to that hand should not be punctured. This is called Negative modified Allen test.
74
What does the median nerve innervate?
volar (palmar) surface: -most of the palm and the other part of the 4th digit and the 2nd, 3rd digits and part of the thumb dorsal surface -the PIP on 2nd and 3rd digits
75
What does the radial nerve innervate?
volar (palmar) surface -part of the thumb Dorsal surface -most of the dorsum of hand and some of the 3nd, 2nd digits and the thumb
76
Trauma
nerves, soft tissue, bones, joints; residual problems, bone infections
77
Chronic illness
cancer, arthritis, sickle cell disease, hemophilia, osteoporosis, renal or neurologic disorder
78
FH of arthritis
rheumatoid, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (back), gout
79
Genetic disorders
osteogenesis imperfecta, skeletal dysplasia, rickets, hypophosphatemia, hypercalciuria
