FINAL EXAM Flashcards
rotator cuff tendons (activity)
(supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis)
-swimming, tennis, golf, throwing sports
-activities that stress shoulder mm with arms in overhead position
-drywall, installation
-assembly line work
-pain experienced when arm in more than 90º ABD
biceps long head tendon (activity)
swimming & throwing sports where arm is ADD, compressing tendon
common extensor tendon (activity)
-repetitive forceful ext, supination & radial deviation
-wheelchair athletes & meat cutters susceptible
common flexor tendon (activities)
-repetitive activity; hammering/ using screw driver
-sports involving wrist flex & pronation; golf & overhead serving in tennis
abductor pollicis longus & extensor pollicis brevis tendons (activities)
activities requiring repetitive thumb use, radial & ulnar deviation & forceful gripping can cause “De Quervain’s tenosynovitis”
patellar tendon (activities)
running or jumping such as track & field
popliteus tendon (activities)
downhill running or walking combined with foot pronation
-can be confused with ITB syndrome
tibialis posterior tendon (activities)
running, using step machines or doing step aerobics combined with excessive pronation
achilles tendon (activities)
running combined with pronation, poor footwear or tight gastrocnemius-soleus mm
GH – anterior dislocation
-most common
-“subcoracoid dislocation”
-mechanism = excessive ABD & external rotation of humerus (ex. tackled from behind while throwing ball)
-another mechanism = FOOSH
LUNATE - dislocation
-dislocates in palmar direction
-mechanism = fall on outstretched hand, forcing wrist into hyperextension
-radius forces lunate in palmar direction, displacing lunate anteriorly into wrist between flexor tendons & capitate bone
TENDINITIS - testing
AR isometric testing painful on contraction of mm of affected tendon, especially if mm is contracted in a stretched position
BURSITIS - testing
AR isometric testing painful for bursae that are completely surrounded by other structures – pain stays constant while bursa is compressed = bursa differentiation test
impingement syndrome
-inflammation, pain & edema in tissues within coracoacromial arch & between acromioclavicular & GH joints
-painful compression of tendons, especially supraspinatus, may occur when humerus is ABD against acromion
-biceps tendon & subacromial bursa may also be affected
calcific tendinitis
-late occurring stage of rotator cuff tendinitis, usually in supraspinatus tendon
-supraspinatus holds head of humerus in place & constant pressure seems to “wring out” blood supply to tendon
