Examination - E,W,H

A

Joint Play - Humeroulnar Joint Distraction

(a) Client Position:

  • Supine with arms relaxed at side, elbow on clinician’s sholder with forearm partially supinated.

(b) Clinician Position:

  • Sitting at the clients elbow, facing the client.

(c) Stabilization:

  • The rest of the client’s body on the table serves as the stabilizing force. The clinician’s stabilizing hand (left as shown) purchases the proximal humerus.

(d) Movement and Direction of Force:

  • The clinicians assessing hand (right as shown) purchases the proximal ulna, just distal to the elbow. The clinician uses their assessing hand to distract the ulna distally from the humerus at a 90 degree angle from the treatment plane, or an angle 45 degrees less flexion than the position of the ulnar shaft.

(d) Assessment:

  • Assessment is done for joint play/passive accessory motion, client response, and end-feel. Reproduction of concordant pain suggests dysfunction.
  • Impaired joint mobility or end-feel may also suggest dysfunction if concordant pain is also reproduced.

(c) Stabilization:

  • The rest of the client’s body on the table serves as a stabilizng force. The clinicians stabilizing hand purchases the distal humerus.

(d) Movement and Direction of Force:

  • The clinician’s assessing hand purchases the proximal radius and ulna, just distal to the elbow. The clinician uses their assessing hand to glide the proximal ulna in a medial direction throught he radius (assisting with their trunk).

(d) Assessment:

  • Assessment is done for joint play/passive accessory motion, client response, and end-feel. Reproduction of concordant pain suggests dysfunction. Impaired joint mobility or end-feel may also suggest dysfunction if concordant pain is also reported.
