Kines Wrist Flashcards
what is normal values of wrist flexion & extension?
80-90 flexion & 70-80 extension
what is the normal value of radial & ulnar deviation?
20-25 radial, 30-35 ulnar deviation
what Is the proximal portion of the radiocarpal joint?
articulation of radius & radioulnar disk/ TFC
what is the distal portion of the radiocarpal joint?
the scaphoid, lunate & triquetrum
what does the lateral radial facet articulate with?
scaphoid (46%)
what does the medal radial facet articulate with?
lunate
what does the inferior radioulnar disk articulate with?
triquetrum
true/ false is there a formal carpal articulation with ulna
false
what is the pisiform carpal bone?
sesamoid bone
function to increase MA of FCU
true or false: no muscles act directly on the RC joint
true
how does the motion at the radiocarpal joint happen?
Motion is a result of ligamentous forces distributed & muscles that insert at distal carpals & metacarpal
does more extension or flexion come from the radiocarpal joint?
flexion
does more ulnar devotion or radial deviation come from radiocarpal joint?
ulnar deviation
describe the functional unit of the mid carpal joint?
- No isolated capsule
- Interrupted multiarticular surface
- Scaphoid contributes to motion both at midcarpal & radiocarpal joints in certain portions of wrist motion
how many DF does the midcarpal joint have?
- 2 DF, Condyloid Joint = Extension > Flexion, Radial Deviation > Ulnar Deviation
what is the intercarpal joints an articulation between?
all the carpal bones
what does the inter carpal joints allow?
Allow minimal movement to accommodate hand & wrist positioning
how is the intercarpal joints bound together and which side is more mobile?
many ligaments, ulnar side is more mobile
which ligament is stronger palmar or dorsal?
palmar ligament `
what is the clinical implication of ligament integrity of the intercarpal joints?
-Weakened area palmarly near lunate, relatively unstable (causes dislocation palmarly → most commonly dislocated carpal)
-Proximal pole of scaphoid has no ligament attached dorsally = ganglion cyst formation
describe the dorsal radiocarpal ligament?
Thickening of capsule
Lunate & radius contract
Check rein to end range wrist flexion
what is the radial & ulnar collateral ligament a check rein for?
check rein for frontal plane motions
describe the volar (palmar) radiocarpal ligament?
Most important of all ligaments for stability & passive mobility contribution
3 distinct bands all intracapsular (so thick)
how much do the RC & MC joint contribute to extension?
50 (MC) & 35 (RC)
what motion is coupled with flexion?
ulnar deviation
what motion is coupled with extension?
radial deviation
what are the arthrokinematics of the radiocarpal joint for flexion?
anterior roll & posterior slide
what are the arthrokinematics of the radiocarpal joint for extension?
posterior roll, anterior glide
what are the arthrokinemtics of the radiocarpal joint for radial deviation?
lateral roll, medial glide
what are the arthrokinematic of the radiocarpal joint for ulnar deviation?
medial roll, ulnar glide
what is check rein to radial deviation?
radial styloid impacting into carpals
what is the closed pack position for radiocarpal joint?
palmar & intercarpal II become taut in full extension
why does counter rotation which increase ligaments tension occur?
With flexion the scaphoid anterior flexes (glides anterior), Lunate & Triquetrum posterior extends (glides posteriorly)
what occurs at the intercalated segments during extension?
the scaphoid glides posterior & lunate and triquetrum glides anterior
