ELBOW FORARM WRIST Flashcards
Phalens test assess for
carpal tunnel syndrome
Tinels median N. test assesses for
carpal tunnel syndrome
Medial epicondylitis test
golfers elbow
Lateral epicondylitis test
Tennis elbow
Allens test assesses
arterial blood flow to the hands
Finklestein’s test assesses
Quervain’s Tendonitis or first dorsal compartment tendonitis
Elbow extensors
Triceps, anconeus
elbow flexors
biceps, brachialis, brachioradialis
forarm pronators
pronator teres/pronator quad/ and brachioradialis to mid point
forarm supinators
Supinator, Long head bicep
Wrist flexors
FCR, FCU, Palmaris Longus, FDS, FDP
wrist extensors
ECR L&B, ECU
Ulnar deviators
radial deviators
common upper extremity dysfunction
carpal tunnel/tennis elbow/rotator cuff injuries/golfers elbow
when positioning your hands durring assessment of the pronation/supination or wrist flextion and extension be sure to brace the patient ___________to the wrist joint.
Inferior on the carpals
rheumatoid athritis in severe acute flare up should be treated as a
Local contraindication
the paitiens should have their forarm _________durring elbow flexion assessment
Supinated
Decreased ROM in active and passive elbow flexion would warrant extrinsic treatment of
Triceps/anconeus
decreased ROM in elbow extension durring active and resisted may warrent intrinsic treatment of
triceps/anconeus
what ROM should be introduced to bias for long head of the biceps durring elbow extension assessment?
GH extension
Dysfunction in what muscle would have been assessed if you place a patient in supination to the first barrier and as for light to medium contraction into pronation
pronator teres/pronator quad/ and brachioradialis to mid point
Brachioradialis is involved in?
supination/pronation/elbow flexion
the best treatment for pronator quad?
intrinsically because its difficult to access
