Q
  1. What forms carrying angle?
  2. What does increasing it cause…

Decreasing it….

A
  1. Angle formed at the elbow b/w2 lines …

1st along long axis of humerus

2nd median aspect of forearm in valgus position

  1. Inc= wrist aDduction

Dec= wrist ABduction

(i like to remember this as Decrease already has a D in it so it adds a B)

Q

Olecranon (ulnohumeral) SD

_aBduction _

  1. Type of Glide
  2. Carrying angle
  3. Distal forearm prefers (Da same)
  4. Radial head is..
  5. Hand (wrist) may prefer… (Hoppostie)
A
  1. Medial Glide
  2. Increased Carrying angle
  3. Distal Forearm Prefers -aBduction
  4. Radial Head- compressed on the capitulum of humerus
  5. Hand (wrist) aDduction at radiocarpal joing

Q

Radial Head Dysfunction

A
  • Radius has Reciprical motion
  • Pronate hand= Posterior glide of Radial head

Q

Pronation

  1. Radius crosses….
  2. Creates…
  3. Distal Radius moves___ causes Radial Head to move__
A
  1. Radius crosses - Ulna
  2. Creates Fulcrum
  3. Distal radius moves anteriorly … causes radial head to move

_Posteriorly _

Q

Cause of SD

Hand is in..

  1. Pronation
  2. Supination
A
  1. Pronation- Fall forward & bracing with hands

Result: Posterior radial head

  1. Supination- Backward fall & Bracing with hands

Result: anterior radial head

Q

Falling Forward onto palm

with out stretched palm causes…

A
  1. The hand is in a pronated position
  2. forward force vector pushes the distal radius into greater anterior rotation
  3. causing the radial head to move posteriorly
17
Q

FALLING BACKWARD ONTO PALM

w/ Extended Arm

A
  1. ¨The hand is in a supinated position
  2. impacting force vector pushes the distal radius into greater posterior rotation
    1. causing the radial head to move anteriorly.
18
Q

When evaluating Joints look for SD always look in….

A

1 joint up and 1 joint down

19
Q

SD WRIST

A
  • Pain in wrist – small gliding motion
  • look at elbow- might have large motion loss in flex & ext
  • Compression compenent - if cause by fall
20
Q

SD CMC (Carpometacarpal) Joint

Almost always have a _______component

especially if motion is restricted in _____and/or ______

A

Almost always have a _______( compression) component

especially if motion is restricted in _____(dorsal) and/or ______(ventral) _GLIDE _

21
Q

1st CMC (thumb) most like to have…….

A
  • compression strain or true sprain (NOT SD)
  • Due to freedom of motion
22
Q

MCPs or IPs SD in (3 things)

accompanied by______

A
  1. AP glide
  2. Mediolateral glide
  3. Rotational Glide (internal/external)

Accompanied by___________(compression)
