Final Exam Flashcards
Phalen test
Ask person to hold both hands back to back while flexing rest at 90°. Acute flexion of rest for 60 Seconds produces no symptoms in the normal hand. For carpal tunnel syndrome it reproduces numbness and burning in the hand
Tinel sign
Direct percussion of location of median nerve at rest produces no symptoms and normal hand. Percussion of median nerve produces burning and tingling along its distribution which is a positive sign for carpal tunnel
McMurray’s test
Testing for a torn meniscus. Externally rotate leg and push in word to stress on the knee then slowly extend any normal leg extend smoothly with no pain
Rotator cuff tear
Sudden onset pain may be worse at night may radiate to deltoid region. Weakness and atrophy of surrounding structures. Crepitus with rotation at 60 to 120° of abduction.
Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder
Inability to abduct affected R&B on 90° with the scapula on that side stabilized. Pain without limitation of motion proceeds laws of motion. Progressive stiffness associated with pain. Inability to perform tasks require an elevation of arm
Epicondylitis
Inflammation of the tendon
Lateral elbow penis associate was over use of the wrist extensors or tennis elbow
Medial elbow associated with overuse of involving wrist flexion and rotation or a golfers elbow
What are the signs and symptoms of epicondylitis 
Point tenderness at the medial or lateral epicondyle. Usually gradual and Progressive. He may be referred to the forearm and has increased by the offending motion. Pain greater one motion is made against resistance. And swelling
Olecranon bursitis
Results from repetitive overuse trauma and infection. Signs and symptoms are swelling over the olecranon Point tenderness. And septic bursitis associated with skin lesions and are fevers
Prepatellar bursitis
Maybe associated with mild trauma also called the house means knee occupations involving long periods of kneeling.
Pain in the area inferior to an over the patella. Swelling and inflammation of the bursa Pain is worse with activity and it’s not bother so much night. Overlying skin maybe red shiny course and thickened
Meniscus tear.
Associated with osteoarthritis in older persons and with athletic activities and younger people
Sudden onset of pain. Swelling of the lateral and medial joint line. Locking and painful popping. Proceeding by twisting injury. Point tenderness with mild effusion. And positive for McMurray’s test
Achilles tendinitis
Results from chronic overuse of the muscle of the cast or extreme stress on the Achilles tendon from activities such as jumping
Pain reproduced with passive stretching of the tendon by dorsiflexion. In ability to stand on a ball of the foot. Tenderness and Hambridge. Ankle range of motion is diminished. And positive Thompson’s test which involves squeezing the calf which normally causes plantar flexion of the foot. With Achilles tendon rupture the loss of movement occurs
