middle radioulnar articulation is made up of

A

radius, ulna and interosseous membrane b/w them

34
Q

middle radioulnar articulation

A

not a true joint

35
Q

when is middle radioulnar articulation at maximum stretch

A

in forearm neutral

36
Q

fxn of middle radioulnar articulation

A

prevents proximal displacement of radius on ulnar

occurs w/ pushing movements

37
Q

ligaments of the elbow

A

radial collateral ligament

ulnar collateral ligament

annular ligament of radius

oblique cord

38
Q

radial collateral lig is also called

A

lateral lig

39
Q

RCL extends from

A

lateral epicondyle to the humerus of the radius

40
Q

what does RCL restrict

A

varus forces

41
Q

RCL blends

A

distally w/ annular ligament of the radius

encircles and holds the head of the radius in the radial notch of the ulna

42
Q

RCL assists in

A

prevention of posterior dislocation of ulna from trochlea

43
Q

ulnar collateral lig is also called

A

medial collateral lig

44
Q

UCL is a

A

triangular shaped lig

45
Q

UCL extends from

A

medial epicondyle of the humerus to the coronoid process and olecranon of the ulna

46
Q

UCL consists of

47
Q

3 bands of UCL

A

anterior cordlike band

posterior fan like band

slender oblique band

48
Q

UCL restricts

A

valgus forces b/w 20-130 degrees

49
Q

UCL assists in

A

prevention of posterior dislocation of ulna from trochlea

50
Q

UCL and FCU muscle together

A

form cubital tunnel

passage of ulnar nerve

51
Q

annular ligament of radius attached

A

only to the ulna

forms the proximal radioulnar joint

52
Q

what does annular ligament allow

A

movement to the radial head

53
Q

fxn of annular lig

A

keep the radius securely against the ulna

54
Q

what does the annular lig provide

A

stability for the proximal radioulnar joint

55
Q

oblique cord

A

connects radius to ulna

56
Q

oblique cord extends from

A

the ulnar tuberosity just distal to the radial tuberosity

57
Q

oblique cord limits

A

supination

58
Q

oblique cord prevents

A

displacement of radius on ulna w/ pulling movements

59
Q

brachioradialis

63
Q

forearm pronation

A

pronator teres

pronator quadratus

64
Q

many muscles that act on the wrist and hand

A

are attached on the distal humerus

crosses the elbow joint

65
Q

what do the wrist and hand muscles provide

A

stability to the elbow

but contribute little motion at elbow

66
Q

what do the wrist and hand muscles allow

A

effective movements of the wrist and fingers

regardless of forearm position

67
Q

how does the position of the elbow affect the muscles of the wrist and hand

A

length tension relationship of the muscles during their actions on the wrist and hand

68
Q

wrist flexors

A

flexor carpi radialis

flexor carpi ulnaris

palmaris longus

flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus

69
Q

wrist extensors
