Capsular Patterns Flashcards
Temporomanibular
Limited mouth opening
Occiputoatlantal joint
forward flexion limited greater than extension
Atlantoaxial Joint
Limitation with rotation
Lower cervical spine C3-C7
limits in all motions except flexion (side bending and rotation with equal limitations than limitations in extension)
Glenohumeral Joint
Greatest limitation ER, than Abduction and IR
Sternoclavicular Joint
full elevation limited, pain at extreme range of motion
acromioclavicular joint
full elevation limited, pain at extreme range of motion
humeroulnar joint
loss of flexion more than extension
humeroradial joint
loss of flexion more than extension
proximal radioulnar joint
limitation pronation=supination
distal radioulnar joint
limitation pronation=supination
wrist
limitation flexion= extension
midcarpal
limitation equal in all directions
trapeziometacarpal
limitation abduction more than extension
carpometacarpals II-V
equally restricted in all directions
upper extremity digits
limitation flexion>extension
thoracic spine
limitations in sidebending and rotation > extension> flexion
lumbar spine
limitations in sidebending and rotation > extension > flexion
sacroiliac, symphis pubis, sacrococcygeal
pain when joints are stressed
Hip
Limited flexion/IR; some limits abduction, no or little limitation adduction and external rotation
knee
flexion grossly limited, slight limitation in extension
tibiofibular (proximal and distal)
pain when joint is stressed
talocrural
Loss of PF > DF
talocalcaneal (subtalar)
increasing limitations of varus, joint fixed in valgus (inversion >eversion)
midtarsal
supination > pronation (limited DF, PF, ADD and medial rotation)
first metatarsal phalangeal
marked limitation of extension, slight limit in flexion
metatarsophalangeal II-V
Variable; tend towards flexion restrictions
interphalangeal
tend towards extension restrictions
