A

Ulnar collateral carpal ligament

Impact of scaphoid tubercle on the radial styloid

18
Q

A

Radial collateral carpal ligament

19
Q

Limiting factors for thumb flexion

A

Joint surface alignment Tension in surrounding soft tissues particularly the Post. Oblique lig.

20
Q

Limiting factors for thumb extension

A

Joint surface alignment Tension in surrounding soft tissues particularly the Ant. Oblique lig.

21
Q

Limiting factors for thumb abduction

A

Tension in thumb web

22
Q

Limiting factors for thumb adduction

A

Apposition of the medial surface of the thumb with the hand

23
Q

Limiting factors for thumb opposition

A

Joint surface alignment

Tension in surrounding soft tissues & contact of thumb pad with the palmar surface of the hand

24
Q

Limiting factors for MCP flexion

A

Tension in the

extensor tendons Collateral ligaments are taut

25
Q

Limiting factors for MCP extension

A

Tension in the flexor tendons

Extent of articular surface

26
Q

Limiting factors for MCP abduction

A

Tension in finger and thumb webs

27
Q

Limiting factors for MCP adduction

A

Contact with other fingers or palm

28
Q

Limiting factors for IP flexion

A

Apposition of soft tissues

Tension in the extensor tendons

29
Q

Limiting factors for IP extension

A

Tension in the flexor tendons

30
Q

Limiting factors for Cervical Flexion

A

Anterior part of the disc is compressed whilst the posterior part is stretched

Tension also occurs in:

  • Posterior longitudinal ligament
  • Posterior capsule of the facet joints
  • Ligamentum flavum,
  • Interspinous ligament
  • Ligamentum nuchae
  • Opposing muscles.
31
Q

Limiting factors for Cervical extension

A

Posterior part of disc compressed whilst anterior part stretched

Tension also occurs in:

  • Anterior longitudinal ligament
  • Approximation of spinous processes
  • Tension in opposing muscles.
32
Q

Limiting factors for Cervical rotation

A

Torsional deformity of the disc occurs

Plus tension develops in the ligaments of both sides and both facet joint capsules

Plus tension in the Alar ligaments of the Atlanto-axial joints.

33
Q

Limiting factors for Cervical lateral flexion

A

(L) Lateral Flexion:
(L) side of the disc is compressed whilst the (R) side of disc is stretched

Tension in the facet joint capsule on the (R) side

Tension in the ligaments on the (R) side

Tension in the opposing muscles on the (R) side.
