23
Q

Lumbricals MMT

A

must test 2 actions. Stabilize the wrist. Have pt extend IP while flexing MP. Test the ability to hold IP extension by pushing on dorsal side of mid phalanges and then test ability to hold MP flexion by pushing against palmar surface of prox phalanges

24
Q

Have pt ADDuct all fingers and test every finger (except middle finger) by trying to ABDuct – pull each finger at prox phalanx

25
Q

Dorsal Interossei MMT

A

Have pt ABDuct all fingers, test by trying to push her finger into ADDuction….Dont test pinky or thumb!…middle finger can ABDuct both ways so you need to test both!

26
Q

Flexor Digiti Minimi palpation

A

Palpate right below flexor crease

27
Q

Flexor Digiti Minimi MMT

Palm up- Flex MP joint while IP joints are extended. Put pressure on palmar surface of prox. Phalanx as pt tries to hold flexion

28
Q

ABDuctor Dig. Minimi palpation

A

Palpate on ulnar border of 5th MC. ABDuct pinky to make it pop out

29
Q

ABDuctor Dig. Minimi MMT

A

Have pt Abduct pinky. OT apply pressure to outside (ulnar side) of pinky to try to push her into pinky ADDuction

30
Q

Opponens Digiti Minimi MMT

A

Like OPB except take thumb away so the pinky is still opposed. Try to “unroll” the MC of the pinky.

31
Q

ABDuctor Pollicis Longus palpation

A

Just below EPB on the radial side of snuff box (more on the volor surface rather than dorsal surface)
