exam II Flashcards
anterior triangle borders
superior- mandible
medial- midline of neck
lateral- sternocleiodomastoid
posterior triangle content
spinal accessory cervical plexus roots of brachial plexus phrenic nerve subclavian a transverse cervical a suprascapular a external jugular
posterior triangle borders
inferior- clavicle
posterior- trapezius
anterior- sternocleidomastoid
cervical lymph nodes
preauricular postauricular occipital deep cervical submandibular
thryroglossal duct cyst
during development thyroid tissue migrates from base of tongue through thyroglossal duct into neck
if duct does not close can form cyst
ROM neck
flex- 45
extend- 85
rotate- 90
side bend- 40
mm used in neck rotation
trap, scalenes, SCM, splenius, longissimus, semispinalis, and obliqus capitus
mm used in sidebending neck
trap, scalene, SCM, splenius, longissiums, semispinalis, obliqus, longus, and rectus capitis
spurling’s maneuver
cervical foramina compression test
side bend w/compression produces pain and neruo symptoms
maximum cervical compression test- add extension and rotation to the same side
distraction test
pull up on head and neck
used to alleviate radicular symptoms and support a diagnosis of radicuopathy
Roos Test
arms abducted to 90 and externally rotated
elbows flexed at 90
patient slowly opens and closes hands for 3 minutes
if there is weakness, numbness, or tingling test is positive or thoracic outlet syndrome
Adson’s test
palpate the radial pulse with the elbow and shoulder in extension
continue to palpate pulse while moving arm into abduction and external rotation and flex elbow
have patient turn head away
if pulse diminished positive for thoracic outlet syndrome
apley scratch test
upper arm- tests external rotation and abduction
lower arm- tests internal rotation and adduction
internal rotators of the shoulder
subscapularis
teres major
external rotators of the shoulder
teres minor
infrascapularis
mm strength scale
0- no contraction or movement
1- mm contracts, does not move
2- full active ROM when gravity eliminated
3- full active ROM against gravity
4- full active ROM against partial resistance
5- full active ROM overcome full resistance
test supraspinatus
patient abducts against resistance
test subscapularis
patient rotates forearm medially against resistance
test infraspinatus/teres minor
patient rotates forearm laterally against resistance
test thoracohumeral group
patient adducts forearm against resistance
test infraspinatus
patient flexed elbows to 90 and abducts against bilateral resistance
empty can test
tests supraspinatus
abduct arms to 90 and forward flex to 45, internally rotate to point thumb down. patient pushed up against resistance
lift off test
hand on lower back palm out
patient pushed against resistance
subscapularis test
cross over test
adduct arm across test to compress acromioclavicular joint and caused pain if there has been disruption of AC joint or arthritis
drop arm test
examiner abducts patients arm to 90and asks patient to slowly lower it
if arm drops indicative of rotator cuff problem, usually supraspinatus
apprehension test
arm abducted to 90 and externally rotated
push inferior on shoulder while extending arm
pain indicative or loose joint capsule or dislocation
O’briens test
flex arm to 90 and adduct across chest, internally rotate to point thumb down and push down on arm
pain is positive for labral tear, if thumb points up, no pain
speed test
flex straight arm to 90 with palm up
patient resists examiner pushing down, pain in bicipital groove positive or bicipital tendonitis
Hawkins impingement sign
examiner grasps elbow with one hand and distal forarm with other
passively externally rotates shoulder impinges subscapularis
passively internally rotates shoulder impinges supraspinatus, teres minor, and infraspinatus
subacromial bursa test
stabalize shoulder and extend humerus
pain indicates subacromial bursitis, could be rotator cuff problem
nursemaids elbow
radial head dislocation
lateral epicondylitis
extensor tendinitis
tennis elbow
generally chronic
pain in lateral elbow and dorsal forarem, worse with wrist extension, gripping, or lifting
medial epicondylitis
flexor tendinitis
golfers elbow
chronic
pain in medial elbow worse with flexion, gripping, or lifting
lateral epicondylitis test
palpate lateral epicondyle while resisting patient wrist extension, pain is positive test
medial epicondylitis test
palpate medial epicondyle while resisting patients wrist flexion, pain positive test
radiohumeral and ulnohumeral joint tests
position elbow where discomfort occurs, radially or ulnarly deviate the wrist to compress radial head or ulna, pain indicates problem
boutonniere deformity
knucle large and raised
bouchards nodes
at proximal IP joint, osteroarthritis, may not be symmetric
heberdens nodes
at distal IP joint, osteroarthritis, may not be symmetric
tinels sign
tap on median nerve at wrist -> pain indicative of compression, not specific to carpel tunnel
phalens manuver
point fingers down to bring wrists together, opposite of prayer, carpel tunnel
tenosynovitis
dequervain’s disease and others
rheumatoid arthritis
symmetric
psoriatic arthritis
involves DIP joints and inflammation of skin
colels fracture
distal radius fracture with distal fragment displaces dorsally
usually from falling on outstretched hand
boxers fracture
distal 5th metacarpal fracturewith volar angulation
duptrens contracture
inflammation, thickening, and contracture of palmar fascia, most commonly 4th and 5th digits
trigger finger
inflammation of flexor digitorum tendon sheath which becomes trapped under pulley just proximal to MCP joints during flexion so cannot extend
