Question 1

Elbow: Closed Pack Position

Answer 1

1. Humeroulnar joint = full extension
2. Humeroradial joint = 80-90 degrees flexion
3. Proximal radioulnar joint = 5 degrees supination

Question 2

Elbow: Open Pack Position

Answer 2

1. Humeroulnar joint = 70 degrees flexion / 10 degrees supination
2. Humeroradial joint = full Extension / Full Supination
3. Proximal radioulnar joint = 35 degrees supination

Question 3

Elbow: capsular pattern

Answer 3

Flexon more restricted (>) than extension;

supination = pronation

Question 4

Humeroulnar joint close packed position:

Answer 4

Humeroulnar joint = full extension

Question 5

Humeroradial close pack position

Answer 5

1. Humeroradial joint = 80-90 degrees flexion

Question 6

Proximal radioulnar close pack position

Answer 6

Proximal radioulnar joint = 5 degrees supination

Question 7

Humeroulnar joint, open pack position

Answer 7

Humeroulnar joint = 70 degrees flexion / 10 degrees supination

Question 8

Humeroradial joint, open pack position

Answer 8

Humeroradial joint = full Extension / Full Supination

Question 9

Proximal radioulnar joint, open pack position

Answer 9

Proximal radioulnar joint = 35 degrees supination

Question 10

Ulnar distal traction

Answer 10

• web space of PT cephalad hand in patient’s antecubital fossa stabilizing patient’s elbow to plinth
• PT grasps distal ulna with caudal hand and applies caudal mob force

Question 11
