Capsular Patterns Flashcards
TMJ
limited mouth opening
occipitoatlantal joint
forward flexion limited greater than extension
atlantoatlantal joint
limited w/ rotation
lower cervical spine (C3-T2)
limitation of all motions except flexion (side bending and rotation equally limited and both greater than extension)
GH
ER (greatest limitation) > ABD > IR
Sternoclavicular
full elevation limited; pain at extreme ROM
acromioclavicular
full elevation limited; pain at extreme ROM
humeroulnar
loss of flexion > extension
humeroradial
loss of flexion > extension
proximal radioulnar
pronation = supination
distal radioulnar
pronation = supination
wrist
flexion = ext
midcarpal
= in all directions
trapeziometacarpal
limited ABD > extension
carpometacarpals 2-5
= restricted in all directions
UE digits
limited flexion > ext
thoracic spine
limitation of side-bending and rotation > loss of extension > flexion
lumbar spine
marked and = limitation of side-bending and rotation; loss of ext > flexion
SI, symphysis pubis, sacro-coccygeal
pain when joint are stressed
hip
limited flexion/IR; some limitation of ABD; no or little limitation of ADD and ER
knee
flexion grossly limited; slight limitation of ext
tibiofibular (proximal and distal)
pain when joint is stressed
talocrural
loss of PF greater than D
talocalcaneal (subtalar)
increasing limitation of varus; joiint fixed in valgus (inversion > eversion)
