25
Q

What is the most frequently dislocated carpal bones?

26
Q

What is the largest carpal bone?

27
Q

Pain from where can radiate to the hand?

A

neck, shoulder or elbow region

28
Q

What shoulder muscles in particular can cause hand pain?

A
  • Infraspinatus
  • Serratus posterior superior
  • Lat dorsi
  • Scalenes
29
Q

What is Cozen’s test of the elbow?

A

It is a physical examination performed to evaluate for lateral epicondylitis or, tennis elbow. The test is said to be positive if a resisted wrist extension triggers pain to the lateral aspect of the elbow owing to stress placed upon the tendon of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle. The test is performed with extended elbow

30
Q

What are the specific areas that may be tender at the elbow?

A

Lateral epicondyle
Medial epicondyle
Olecranon

31
Q

What is the major flexor of the thumb?

A

Abductor pollicis brevis

32
Q

Bringing the thumb anteriorly=?

33
Q

Bringing the thumb into the plane of the palm = ?

34
Q

Bringing the thumb away from the palm, but staying within the same plane = ?

35
Q

Bringing the thumb toward the palm, but staying within the same plane = ?

36
Q

What is opposition of the thumb? What is the opposite motion of this?

A

Opposing the thumb with the other digits.

Reposition is the opposite motion

37
Q

What is the piano key sign?

A

Tests for instability at the distal radioulnar joint

38
Q

What are the two major causes of instability of the radioulnar joint?

39
Q

What is nursemaid’s elbow?

A

Radial head subluxation away from the annular ligament

40
Q

What are the PE findings with radial head subluxation?

A
  • TTP near the radial head
  • Pain with F/E
  • Supination/pronation intact without pain
41
Q

What does the Cozen’s test assess for?

A

Lateral epicondylitis

42
Q

What does the finkelsteins test assess for?

A

De quervains

43
Q

What is Maudsley’s test, and what does it assess for?

A

The examiner resists extension of the 3rd digit of the hand, stressing the extensor digitorum muscle and tendon, while palpating the patient’s lateral epicondyle. A positive test is indicated by pain over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.

Lateral epicondylitis

44
Q

What does the Phalens test assess for?

A

Carpal tunnel

45
Q

What does the piano key test assess for?

A

DRUJ instability

46
Q

What does the Snuff box test assess for?

A

Scaphoid fracture

47
Q

What does the tinel sign at the elbow test assess for?

A

Cubital tunnel syndrome

48
Q

What does the tinel sign at the wrist test assess for?

A

carpal tunnel syndrome

49
Q

What does the varus and valgus stress test assess for?

A

UCL/RCL instability

50
Q

What does pain with elbow flexion/extension or supination/pronation test assess for?

A

Elbow subluxation

51
Q

Supination of the arm does what to the radial head?

A

Moves anteriorly

Q

Pronation of the arm causes what motion of the radial head?

A

Radial head moves posteriorly

53
Q

What are the three major hand/wrist problems that may be treated with s/cs?

A

Radial head
Coronoid process
Anterior interosseous

54
Q

What are the two major posterior s/cs tender points at the elbow?

A

Medial and lateral olecranon

55
Q

What happens to the anterior radial head with FOOSH?

A

Proximal radial head moves anteriorly, distal moves posteriorly

56
Q

In supination, the radial head is where?

57
Q

What are the six steps of the DMU UE OMT protocol?

A
  1. Thoracic inlet
  2. Thoracics/ribs
  3. Cervs
  4. OA
  5. Shoulder/elbow
  6. Distal SD
