Spurling’s Test
cervical nerve root compression
a positive test= duplicating shoulder pain or pain radiating into upper extremity
Neck extended, laterally
bent to affected side
apply scratch test
Patient touches superior
& inferior aspects of opposite scapula
loss of range of motion
empty can
rotator cuff tendonitis/tear
AKA Jobe’s Test/Supraspinatus Test
90° abduction in front, thumbs down
Neer’s sign
Subacromial impingement
Hawkin’s Test
Subacromial impingement
Drop Arm Test
The drop arm test is used to assess for full thickness rotator cuff tears, particularly of the supraspinatus.
Cross Arm Test Diagnosis
Forward elevation to 90° & passive adduction
AC Joint Pathology
Apprehension Test
Anterior glenohumeral instability
Anterior pressure on the humerus with external rotation
Relocation Test
Anterior glenohumeral instability
Apprehension Test also looks for ant. glenohumeral instability
Posterior force on humerus while externally rotating the arm
Sulcus sign
Inferior glenohumeral instability
positive test is indicated by the development of abnormal sulcus under acromion during traction
Pulling downward on elbow or wrist. In another place, sulcus is listed as testing for posterior instability as well.
Yergason and Speed test the same tendon
Yergason’s Test
Biceps tendon instability or tendonitis or labral tear
patient resists supination whie examiners palpates bicipital groove
positive- pain in the shoulder, biceps tendon, subluxation of biceps tendon out of groove
Speed’s Test
Biceps tendonitis or labral tear
Elbow flexed 10 to 30° & forearm supinated
O’Briens Test
Labral tear
Done just like the “empty can” test except the maneuver is done with the arm adducted slightly across midline
-Positive: pain in shoulder when done with thumb down, but less/no pain when done with palm up
arm 90 deg forward flexion with forearm pronated, arm
adducted across midline
Crank Test
Labral Tear
arm 90 deg forward flexion with forearm pronated, arm
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Tests
- Empty can/Jobe’s
- infraspinatous/resisted external rotation
- Push-off/Gerber test
Infraspinatus/Teres Minor Testing
“Lift Off” Test
AKA Gerber/ subscapularis testing
labral and biceps tendonapathy consideration
Significant overlap in test results for SLAP lesions and biceps tendonopathy
labral- o’brien’s and crank
biceps- yergason’s and speed’s
Elbow Inspection: What 2 things to look for?
- carrying angle/valgus (5 degrees for males and 10-15 for females)
- swelling /olecranon bursitis
landmarks to palpate on the elbow
- medial and lateral epicondyles
- radial head
- cubital tunnel
- olecranon
what is normal range of motion for the elbow?
F/E; supination/pronation
Flexion- 135 degrees
Extension- 0-(-)5 degrees
supination and pronation- 90 degrees
what nerve roots are involved in elbow senation testing?
radial side- C5-C8
ulnar side- C8-T1
What motions are looked at during elbow strength testing?
- F/E at wrist
- F/E at elbow
- supination/pronation
Special Tests for Elbow
- varus/valgus stress test- lateral instability
- Tinel’s- cubital tunnel
- medial epicondylitis- flex at wrist against resistance
- medial epicondylitis-ext. at wrist against resistance
There are four key ones.
Wrist Inspection Elements
- general shape
- fist
- nails
- deformities
Landmarks for wrist palpation
- anatomical snuffbox (scaphoid bone, abd. poll. longus, ext. poll longus)
- distal radius
- distal ulna
- carpal bones
What is normal range of motion for the wrist?
F/E; Ulnar and Radial Deviation
Flexion- 80 degrees
Extension- 70 degrees
Radial Deviation- 20 degrees
Ulnar Deviation- 30 degrees
Wrist Strength Testing
Flexion/Extension
Median N. distribution- Name the spinal nerves and areas innervated?
C6-8, T1
Ulnar Nerve Distribution
C8-T1
Radial Nerve Distribution
C6-8
What are 3 special tests for the wrist?
- Tinel’s (Carpal Tunnel)
- Phalen’s (Carpal Tunnel)
- Finkelstein’s (DeQuervains Tenosynovitis)
Tinel’s
Tinel’s test for carpal tunnel by tapping on carpal tunnel and lookinf for pain in the median nerve distribution.
Phalen’s
similar to Tinel’s but hold pressure on Carpal Tunnel for 60 s. Positive result is numbness/pain in the median nerve distribution.
when to use Tinel’s vs phalens
Finkelstein’s Test
test for tenosynovitis in abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis\
Common with Cross-country skiers and video gamers
Tenosynovitis is inflammation in the synovium of the tendon sheath.
Thenar Eminence Atrophy due to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Herberden’s Nodes
DIP Joints, osteoarthritis
Digit Inspection: What three elements to look for?
- edema
- nodules
- contractures/deformities
contracture: a condition of shortening and hardening of muscles, tendons, or other tissue, often leading to deformity and rigidity of joints
Bouchard’s Nodes
PIP Joints, osteoarthritis
Dupuytren’s Contracture
Range of Motion for Digits
Flexion- 90 degrees
Extension- 30-45 degrees
abduction- 20 degrees
adduction- 0 degrees
I am confused about these.
Strength testing for thumb and fingers
- F/E- profundus and superficiales
- Opposition (pinching)
- Abduction- interossei (C8, T1)
Swan Neck Deformity
Caused by RA
Special Testing for Thumb and Fingers
Collateral Ligament Testing
ulnar collateral ligament
What can scaphoid fracture lead to…
avascular necrosis (typically in the outstretched hand)
What innervates the lateral deltoid?
Axillary Nerve
Tennis Elbow Tests
Lateral Epicondylitis
Varus/Valgus Testing
Cozen’s test
CODO Ethics
Ethics
- Autonomy Focus
- Patient Needs come first
- Justice- treating patients equally (w or w/o insurance)
- Autonomy: Patient needs life saving surgery but hates needles
COPMAPS
begin with open-ended questions, non-verbal actions of listening
House structure in PPT
look in the PPT for this one
Altruism
Non-selfish regard
SOAP Note
S- subjective, what the patient tells you
O- physical findings
** write pertinent negatives, dont leave blank
