Lec 3 Flashcards
What kind of joint is the sternoclavicular joint?
Saddle
What are the 3 questionnaires for adhesive capsulitites?
Disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH)
American shoulder and elbow surgeons score (ASES)
SHoulder pain and disability index (SPADI)
Does musculoskeletal pain typically increase or decrease w/ the stopping of movement / exercise?
It stops
Is musculoskeletal activity worse in the day or night?
Day - not as much pain at night because the muscles arent moving
Is musckuloskeletal pain continuous or intermittent?
Both - all the time or in short bursts
Is systemic pain increased or decreased w/ pressure
decreased- if you push on it and it takes away your pain it is often systemic
KNOW: Systemic pain disturbs sleep - however - severe muskuloskeletal pain can also do this
Is systemic pain constant or in waves?
Both
think throbbing w/ a pulse
KNOW: know facet refferal patterns
How is the olecranon-manubrium percussion test performed?
What does it tell us
What 3 bones is it listening for
When it this test typically performed
pt seated w/ ARMS CROSSED
place the stethascope on the widest part of pt’s sternum (NO CLOTHING COVERING)
Tap hard on the very bottom of olecranon (the part w/o fat on it)
If you hear a noise w/ stethascope = no fracture (most likely)
Abnormal = no sound = fracture most likely
NOTE: This is listening for fractures along the humerus / clavicle / scapula
Typically performed after traumatic incident, onset of brusing or swelling
How should the stethascope be pointed?
angle pointed toward nose
What is the purpose of the bony apperhension test?
to rule out/in acute tramatic instability of the shoulder
How is the bony apperhension test performed?
What will the result of a positive test be
Is it passive or active
pt is sitting
PT is directly behind the pt
support upper arm /** elbow** w/ one hand and grab forearm/wrist with the other. Abduct the shoulder to 45 degrees, then externally rotate the shoulder
NOTE: This test is completely passive - were doing the entire thing w/ no muscle contraction
Go to pt max w/ NO overperssure (check this)
Positive = pain in the shoulder or it popping out of socket
What are the 4 tests to rule in upper extremity DVT. How many do we need to rule it in?
1) The presence of venous material (catheter, venous access, or pacemaker) +1
2) Upper extremity, UNILATERAL pitting edema (push and there isnt fast capillary refill) **+1
3) Localized upper extremity pain +1
4) Another diagnosis is reasonably plausible** -1**
Need 2/4 to have a high risk for DVT
Should we do physical activity w/ someone with DVT? Why?
No
Because we don’t want to blood clot to move and become an embolism
What does a brachioradialis reflex look like?
Elbow flexion (DOESNT CROSS WRIST) / more like the elbow moves back some
NOTE: Reflexes test the neural conduction down the extremity as well as sensitivity of golgi tendon receptors
Reflexes are a great screening tool for overall neural health
Pt presents with poor biceps tendin reflex. What two things could be the issue and where
There could be a problem with the golgi tendin receptors in the biceps tendon itself
There could also be a problem w/ C5 myotome (this is a great way to test C5 for that elbow flexion)
Pt presents with impaired C6 dermatome. Whats an appropriate test?
C6 = wrist extension
However, testing braichio radialis reflex helps us figure this out (even though brachioradialis does not mess with the wrist)
Check
pt presents w/ a poor tricep reflex. What two things could be an issue
The golgi tendon organs in the triceps tendin could be impaired
The C7 dermatome that does that elbow extension could be impaired.
How is a briachioradialis reflex done?
How is biceps reflex checked?
make sure to tense tendin before taking reflex
where is the conoid tubercle located?
3/4 of the way lateral on the clavical - posterior / inferior side
how is the spine of the scapula angled?
Goes up as it goes lateral (put them together and you have a smile)
