MS Flashcards
Muscles of the rotator cuff
- SITS
- nerve
- motion
- test
- supraspinatus -> suprascapular N -> ABducts arm -> empty can test
- infraspinatus -> suprascapular N -> externally rotates -> pitching injury
- teres minor -> axillary N -> adduct and externally rotate
- subscapularis -> subscapular N -> internally rotate and adduct
Bones of the wrist
- so long to pinky here comes the thumb
- bone most broken
- scaphoid, lunate, triquetrium, pisiform, hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium
- scaphoid
Muscles of the hand
- thenar
- hypothenar
- interossi
- lumbricals
- flexor pollicis brevis, abdutor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis
- flexor digiti minimi, abductor digiti minimi, opponens digiti minimi
- dorsal -> adbuct fingers, palmar -> adduct fingers
- flex MCP, extend PIP and DIP
Areas of the hand
- hypothenar eminence
- thenar eminence
- on palm, from ring finger to pinky
- on palm, from thumb to index finger
Innervation of hand
- ant
- posterior
- ulnar: pinky and half of ring, median: half of ring all the way to thumb
- ulnar: pink and half of ring; median, half of ring to index, stops at MCP; radial: all of thumb and palmar surface from index to half of ring finger
axillary N dysfunction
- nerve roots
- presentation
- C5-6
- flattened deltoid w/ loss of sensation -> cant abduct arm greater then 15 degrees
musculcutaneous N dysfunction
- nerve roots
- presentation
- C5-7
- decreased bicep and tricep reflex -> weakness of arm flexion; loss sensation over lateral forearm (thumb side)
raidal N dysfunction
- nerve roots
- presentation
- C5-T1
- loss of extension in fingers, wrist and elbow. loss sensation over posterior arm/forearm and dorsal hand
median N dysfunction
- nerve roots
- presentation
- C5-T1
- loss of flexion of fingers and wrist, loss of sensation over thenar eminence
ulnar N dysfunction
- nerve roots
- presentation
- C8-T1
- ulnar clar with digit extension, radial deviation of wrist on flexion, loss pf sensation over pinky and half of ring finger
Erb palsy (waiters tip)
- injury
- cause in infants
- muscle deficit
- presentation
- traction/tear of upper trunk
- lateral traction on neck during delivery
- deltoid, infraspinatus, bicep brachii
- arm hangs by side, medially rotated with flexed/supinated forearm
Winged scapula
- injury
- cause
- muscle deficit
- presentation
- lesion of long thoracic nerve
- axillary node disectoin w/ mastectomy
- serratus anterior
- unable to anchor scapula to thoracic cage
Thoracic outlet syndrome
- injury
- cause
- muscle deficit
- presentation
- compression of lower trunk
- cervical rib impingement
- atrophy of intrinsic hand muscles -> claw hand
ulnar claw
- presentation
- location of lesion
- pinky and ring finger flexed at rest
- proximal median nerve damage
popes blessing
- presentation
- location of lesion
- when trying to make a fist, thumb, index and middle finger stay extended
- proximal median nerve damage
median claw
- presentation
- location of lesion
- thumb, index and middle finger flexed at rest
- distal median N damage
OK gesture
- presentation
- location of lesion
- when trying to make a fist, pinky and ring finger stay extended
- distal median nerve damage
Ligament tests on knees
- anterior drawer
- posterior drawer
- abnormal passive abduction
- abnormal passive adduction
- McMurray test
- ACL -> knee flexed and stabilized, pull lower leg anterior
- PCL -> knee flexed and stabilized, push lower leg posterior
- MCL -> knee flexed and stabilized, ABduct lower leg
- PCL -> knee flexed and stabilized, ADduct lower leg
- MCL/PCL -> internal and external rotation of tibia while flexing and extending knee
Iliohypogastric
- nerve roots
- innervation
- presentation
- T12-L1
- s: suprapubic area, m: transversus abdominus and internal oblique
- burning/tingling with radiation to inguinal or suprapubic region
Genitofemoral
- nerve roots
- innervation
- presentation
- L1-2
- Sensory to crotum/labi majora, internal thigh; m: cremaster
- decreased upper medial and anterior thigh sensation; absent cremasteric reflex
Lateral femoral cutaneous
- nerve roots
- innervation
- presentation
- L2-3
- s: anterior/lateral thigh
- decreased sensation
Obturator
- nerve roots
- innervation
- L2-4
- sensory to medial thigh; m: adductor muscles
Femoral
- nerve roots
- innervation
- L2-4
- S: ant/medial thigh, M: extensors
Sciatic
- nerve roots
- innervation
- L4-S3
- motor to various thigh muscles but more importantly gives rise to tibial and common peroneal nerves
