midterm Flashcards
patient seated with humerus internally rotated to 20 degrees or in a “hands on lap” position is best to locate…
biceps brachii tendon
patient seated with arm held behind the back and elbow in flexion is best to locate…
supraspinatus tendon
client seated or prone with humerus flexed to 90 degrees, adducted 10 degrees and externally rotated 20 degrees
infraspinatus & teres minor
client is seated with the humerus at their side and the elbow flexed to 90 degrees - tendon is palpated inferior to the clavicle, lateral to the coracoid process
subscapularis
client is seated with the elbow in slight flexion - tendon is located distal to the lateral epicondyle
common extensor tendon
client is seated with the elbow in flexion and the wrist supinated - tendon is located distal to the medial epicondyle
common flexor tendon
sheaths of these two muscles is palpated at the radial side of the wrist
abductor pollicis longus & extensor pollicis brevis tendons
palpated just inferior to the lateral femoral condyle, directly posterior to the lateral collateral ligament and biceps femoris tendon
popliteus tendon
foot is placed in plantarflexion - tendon in its sheath is palpated just posterior and inferior to the medial malleolus
tibialis posterior tendon
which ligament near the shoulder forms a roof over the bicipital groove?
transverse humeral ligament
which ligament at the shoulder forms an arch over the humeral head, acting as a block to superior translation?
coracoacromial ligament
which ligament limits inferior translation in adduction and restrains anterior translation and lateral rotation up to 45º abduction
superior glenohumeral ligament
which ligament is the most important of the three ligaments, has an anterior and posterior band with a thin “axillary pouch” in between so it acts like a hammock
inferior glenohumeral ligament
which ligament at the elbow encircles the head of the radius and keeps it in contact with the ulna?
annular ligament
which ligament at the elbow is the primary restraint to posterolateral instability?
lateral (radial) collateral ligament
which ligament at the elbow provides the primary restraint to valgus instability?
medial collateral ligament
Triangular Fibro-Cartilaginous Complex
-sits between ulna, lunate & triquetrum
-injured when wrist is forced into ulnar deviation
-helps to stabilize distal radioulnar joint & adds stability to ulnocarpal articulations
power grips
-require firm control
-ulnar side works with radial side to give stronger stability
-used when strength or force is primary consideration
precision grips
-involves primary the radial side of hand
-intrinsic hand muscles are more important
-used when accuracy & precision are required
-form “dynamic tripod”
types of power grips
hook grasp
cylinder grasp
spherical grasp
fist grasp
types of pinch grips
lateral key
three-point chuck
tip pinch
which bursa at the shoulder is most involved with impingement syndrome?
subacromial
primary support of the AC joint
CC ligament
classic winging of the scapula when the whole medial border of the scapula lifts away from the chest wall
type II
inferior medial border of the scapula is prominent is seen in which type of scapular dyskinesia?
type I
superior border of the scapula is elevated at rest and during movement is seen in which type of scapular dyskinesia?
type III
both scapulae are symmetrical at rest and during motion, rotate symmetrically upward with the inferior angles rotating laterally away from midline (rotary winging)
type IV
developmental condition leading to a high or undescended scapula
Sprengel’s deformity
the GH joint has ___ degrees of freedom and the closed packed position is ___ & ___?
3: abduction & external rotation
the elbow joint has ___ degrees of freedom and the closed packed position is ___ ?
2: extension
what is the normal carrying angle of the elbow in females?
10-15º
what is the normal carrying angle of the elbow in males?
5-10º
if the carrying angle is more than 15º it is called…
cubitus valgus
