Q

list the steps of digital flexing? (fisting)

A

EDC extends wrist and MCP
FDC flexes DIP
EDC relaxes, FDS flexes PIP & interossie flex MCP
power grip with full fisting= both from interossie and FDP

22
Q

what is the flexor injury template

A

3 weeks immobilized, then passive action then active flexion

1) inflammatory stage (0-4days)
2) fibroblastic stage (3-21days) wound care and elevation
3) remodelling phase (3-5 weeks) splints, ROM, NO PÂSSIVE EXTENSION

23
Q

what Is the one wound scar concept

A

tissue healing = cross linkages of collagen that hold structures together

24
Q

low loads and prolonged stretch is best for tendon injuries

A

true

25
Q

scars that are warm, moist and have less O2 heal faster true or false

A

true

26
Q

define claw hand:

A

4&5th digits, intrinsic muscles (lumbricals and interossie)
PIP & DIP flexion with MCP extension
ulnar nerve injury
cant abduct & adduct fingers

27
Q

define ape hand

A

atrophy to thenar eminence
adduction of thumb towards D2 without ability to oppose
median n injury
extensors take over for flexors

28
Q

define wrist drop:

A

radial nerve injury

EDC and extensors are rendered useless

29
Q
  • no muscle pump in hand
A

elevate to prevent swelling, blood pooling

30
Q

define dupuytrens disease

A

contractures in the fascia of hand

develops @ distal palmar crease in line with d4

31
Q

what is a contracture

A

tissue stuck in a short position

32
Q

what is a fasciectomy

A

having something removed

33
Q

what are the main movers of joints in the hand

A
FDP
FDS
lumbricals
interossie 
EDC
34
Q

PIP flexion comes from what muscle

A

FDS !!!

35
Q

what flexes DIPS as a group

A

FDP!!

36
Q

what extends the DIPS

A

LUMBRICALS

37
Q

what do lumbricals do

A
extend pips(lateral bands)
flex mcps (saggital bands)
adduct and abduct all digits
38
Q

why are the extensors a more common injury?

A

they are always exposed , thinner skin

39
Q

what side of the hand are the annular ligaments on

A

palmar (volar)

40
Q

the ulnar nerve innervates what? (responsible for fine motor)

A

FDP
lumbricals
interossie

41
Q

which nerve does wrist drop affect

A

radial

42
Q

muscles involved in carpal tunnel (median nerve)

A

FDS , FDP, flexor pollicus longus

43
Q

the FDS inserts on both sides of the phalanx

A

yessss

44
Q

is the FDP deep to the FDS

A

yes

45
Q

where does the FDP insert

A

distal phalanx

46
Q

what joints does the EDC act on

A

PIP
MCP
radiocarpal joint

47
Q

lumbricals come from the FDP

A

yes

48
Q

what hand condition would affect the ulnar nerve

A

claw hand

49
Q

what hand condioiton would affect the radial nerve

A

wrist drop

50
Q

what hand condition would affect the median nerve

A

ape hand (extensors take over for flexors)

51

when a flexor is contracting an extensor is being stretched

A

yes
