Q

Where are the four common median nerve entrapment sites?

A

ligament of struthers
thickened bicep aponeurosis
pronator teres
carpal tunnel

17
Q

pronator teres entrapement ddx:

A

Ok sign is normal in true carpal tunnel and is weak in pronator teres
Anterior interosseous nerve muscles

18
Q

ulnar nerve entrapment sites:

A

cubital tunnel (dorsal and palmar sides)
tunnel of guyon (palmar side only)
DDx with TOS (mc C8/T1)

19
Q

ulnar entrapment mc due to:

A

repetitive compression/trauma
elbows on table
wrist gripping handlebars

20
Q

radial nerve entrapment commonly occurs at:

A

spiral groove

21
Q

Posterior interosseous nerve is commonly entrapped at:

A

along radial neck before piercing supinator muscle

22
Q

terminal branches of radial nerve are often compressed at:

A

-fibrous bands around radial head
-recurrent radial vessels
-arcade of frohse
-tendinous margin of extensor carpi radialis brevis
-usually due to overuse injuries

23
Q

EMG/nerve conduction studies shoulder only be considered if:

A

surgery is a possibility

24
Q

nerve conduction velocity only evaluates what?

A

evaluates peripheral nerves only

25
EMG evaluates what?
peripheral and nerve roots
26
EMG/NCV must have nerve damage to see what findings at what time frame?
EMG: 7 days spine, 21 days in extremity
27
EMG differentiates between acute: giant:
acute: sharp waves and fibrillation potentials giant motor waves: chronic
28
chiropractic management of the shoulder consists of:
shockwave laser acupuncture soft tissue/compression band mobilization (not unstable) taping rehab exercises
29
elbow conditions and chiropractic management consists of:
education/advice soft tissue (aggressive) compression band shockwave laser taping/bracing nerve flossing mobilization (annular lig in relation to extensor carpi radialis) exercise
30
what are some medical management of wrist/hand conditions?
rest pt referral corticosteroids surgery: TFCC carpal tunnel release
31
what would be some chiropractic management of wrist/hand complaints?
soft tissue compression band laser/EMG therapy mobilization taping median nerve flossing strengthen/stretch
32
what are some nerve entrapment treatment?
soft tissue cupping acupuncture rockfloss/voodoo mobilization nerve flossing 50-70% successfully treated conservatively
