Neck and UE (king-10) Flashcards
common cervical complaints
hoarseness
enlarged LN
enlarged thyroid
cause of hoarseness
smoking
tumors
thyroid enlargement
dmg to rec laryngeal n
cause of enlarged LN
metastatic cancer
lymphoma
infection
cause of enlarged thyroid
goiter
thyroid cancer
structure of vertebrae
body cartilaginous disc synovial facets spinous processes (C7) transverse processes
anterior triangle borders
- sup: mandible
- med: midline of neck
- lat: SCM m.
posterior triangle borders
- inf: clavicle
- post: trap m
- ant: SCM m
cervical lymph drainage
to deep system
deep LN are deep to SCM and not palpable except supraclavicular LN
Virchow’s node
supraclavicular node of deep chain that is palpable in thoracic or abdominal malignancies
thyroglossal duct cyst
failure of thyroglossal duct to close before birth
(emobryonic dev: thyroid tissue migrates from base of tongue through duct into neck)`
inspection of neck
examine posture: position of head and trunk in 2 positions
should be:
nose midline
lat: ear in line w/ shoulder, greater troch, fib head, lat malleolus
spinal curves: front to back, side to side
palpation of neck
ROM
TART: spinous processes, paraspinal mm, transverse processes, upper ribs and clavicle
ROM of Neck
Flexion=45
extention=85
rotation=90
side bending=40
ROM of Neck with MM
flexion: ant neck mm
ext: post neck mm
rot: trap, scalene, SCM, splenius, longissimus, semispinalis, obliqus capitis
SB: trap, scalene, SCM, splenius, semispinalis, obliqus capitis, LONGUS CAPITIS, RECTUS CAPITIS
Spurling’s manuever
side bend to affected side
compress
produces radicular sx
Maximum cervical compression test
w/ SB and compression…
add ext and rotation to same side
distraction test
alleviates radicular sx
supports dx of radiculopathy
thoracic outlet syndrome
when vessels and nerves in clavicular area are compressed (extra rib or tight fibrous band)
sxx:
pain in neck/shoulder
numbness in last 3 fingers and forearm
tx of thoracic outlet
physical therapy to strengthen and straighten shoulders
Roo’s test technique
arms out and flexed at elbow
pt opens and closes hands for 3 minutes
Roo’s test tests for
weakness, numbness, tingling of hand/arm
Adson’s test technique
palpate radial pulse with arm out, elbow extended
move arm out and monitor pulse
Adson’s test tests for
thoracic outlet syndrome
pulse diminishes
common UE complaints
pain swelling stiffness weakness redness noises (grinding, popping, snapping)
common causes of CC
injuries (fx, contusions, tendon/lig tears, overuse) muscular disorders (muscular dystrophy, rabdomyolysis) bone and joint disorders (arthritis-OA or RA)
PE of Shoulder
bones: scapular, humerus, clavicle joints: AC, GH rotator cuff mm
acromioclavicular joint is?
synovial condylar
glenohumeral joint
synovial spheroidal type
labrum
rotator cuff
rotator cuff muscles
supraspinatus
infraspinatus
subscapularis
teres minor
inspection and palpation of shoulder
AC jt
GH jt: arm ext exposes subacromial structures
Scapula: winging
Humerus
winging of scapular etiology
