Dexter Exam #2 Flashcards
cervical spine resting position
midway between flexion and extension
cervical spine closed packed position
full extension
cervical spine capsular pattern
side flexion and rotation equally limited extension
normal end feels for cervical spine
flexion= tissue stretch
extension= tissue stretch
side flexion left and right= tissue stretch
rotation left and right = tissue stretch
cervical myotomes
neck flexion= c1-c2 neck side flexion= c3 shoulder elevation= c4 shoulder abduction/ER= c5 elbow flexion and/or wrist extension= c6 elbow extension and/or wrist flexion= c7 thumb extension and/or ulnar deviation= c8 add/abd of finger intrinsics= T1
reflexes of the cervical spine assessment
biceps c5, c6
triceps c7, c8
hoffman’s sign UMN
TMJ resting position
mouth slightly open, lips together, teeth not in contact, tongue at roof of mouth
TMJ close packed position
teeth tightly clenched
TMJ capsular pattern
limitation of mouth opening
cranial nerve testing I
olfactory- smell coffee or chocolate with eyes closed
cranial nerve testing II
optic- read something with one eye closed
cranial nerve testing III, IV, VI
oculomotor, trochlear, abducens- track eye movements, note any ptosis
cranial nerve testing V
trigeminal- contract muscles of mastication (masseter, temporalis)
cranial nerve testing VII
facial nerve- make faces, raise eyebrows
cranial nerve testing VIII
vestibulocochlear- auditory, patient closes eyes and repeats what you say
cranial nerve testing IX
glossopharyngeal- swallow, say “ah”
cranial nerve testing X
vagus- swallow, say “ah”
cranial nerve testing XI
spinal accessory- shrug shoulders, contract SCM
cranial nerve testing XII
hypoglossal- stick out tongue and move it left to right
normal end feel at TMJ
opening: tissue stretch
closing: bone to bone
GH joint resting position
40-55 abduction, 30 horizontal adduction (scapular plane)
GH joint close packed position
full abduction, lateral rotation
GH joint capsular pattern
lateral rotation, abduction, medial rotation
AC joint resting position
arm resting by side in normal physiological position
AC joint close packed position
90 abduction
AC joint capsular pattern
pain at extremes of ROM, especially horizontal adduction and full elevation
