Hand Flashcards
Where does the entry of the carpal tunnel start
- starts at the distal wrist crease
Which surface of the hand is concave and convex
- palmer is concave
- dorsal is convex
How many degrees is the thumb rotated
- 90 degrees along the longitudinal axis to face palmerly
Define prehension
- grabbing things
How many degrees of freedom does the thumb have
- 2 DOF
What motion is the 2nd and 3rd digit locked into and by what
- locked into frontal motion due to ligament restraints
What motions doe the 4th and 5th CMC joints have
- flexion and extension
- internal and external rotation
ROM for 4th CMC joint
- 20 degrees flexion
- 30 degrees rotation
ROM for 5th CMC joint
- 30 degrees flexion
- 20 degrees rotation
ROM for 2nd and 3rd CMC joints
- no ROM
What direction is roll and slide in for thumb abd/adduction
- opposite directions
What direction is roll and slide in for thumb flexion/extension
- same direction
Thumb CMC extension is coupled with
- lateral rotation
Thumb CMC flexion is coupled with
- medial rotation
Describe phase I of opposition
- metacarpal abduction
Describe phase II of opposition
- metacarpal flexion and medial rotation
What is the closed packed position for the thumb
- full opposition
What does the palmer plate do
- it provides stability in MCP extension
What connects the 2nd-5th palmer plates
- deep transverse carpal ligament
AROM for MCP flexion
- 90 degrees
Progression of MCP flexion from 2nd digit to 5th digit
- 2nd has 90 degrees of flexion and every finger after has an extra 5 degrees
AROM for MCP extension
- 30-45 degrees of hyperextension at any MCP
ROM for MCP abduction
- 20 degrees
