OP Flashcards
MMT: Deltoids
Sitting.
Arm abducted to 90°, flexed at elbow (lat raise position).
For middle fibres push straight down.
Anterior fibres: position arm forward and slightly external rotated. Force applied against anteromedial surface, to adduction and slight extension
Posterior fibres: position arm in slight extension, and medial rotation. Force applied against posteriolateral arm; to adduction and slight flexion.
Deltoid
Anterior fibres originate at clavicle
Middle fibres originate at acromion process
Posterior fibres originate at spine of scapula.
All insert at deltoid tuberosity.
Actions: all abduct
Anterior fibres: flex, IR (when supine)
Posterior fibres: extend, ER (when prone)
Nerve: axillary
Artery:
Supraspinatus
Origin: supraspinous fossa of Scap
Insertion: greater tubercle.
Action: abduction and lateral rotation
Nerve: suprascapular
MMT: supraspinatus
Arm abducted to 90°, elbow flexed (lag raise position). Neck extended and laterally flexed, face turned to opposite side. Arm a little forward with slight ER.
Push down.
Biceps brachii
Origin of short head: coracoid process
Origin of long head: supraglenoid tubercle
Insertion: radial tuberosity and lacertus fibrosis
Action: elbow flexion, shoulder flexion
Nerve: musculocutaneous.
MMT: biceps brachii
Cushion elbow.
Place elbow in flexion, slightly less than right angle. Resist extension.
Triceps brachii
Origin of long head: infraglenoid tubercle
Origin of lateral head: lateral and posterior surface of prox humerus.
Origin of medial head: distal 2/3 of humerus.
Insertion: Olecranon process
Action: elbow extension
Nerve: radial
MMT: triceps
Supine
Arm flexed right above shoulder.
Resist flexion.
Brachioradialis
Origin: lateral supracondylar ridge
Insertion: lateral side of styloid process of radius
Action: elbow flexion when arm in neutral pronation.
Nerve: radial
MMT: brachioradialis
Supine or seated
Semi-supinated, elbow flexed, elbow cushioned.
Resist extension.
Flexor carpi ulnaris
Origin of humeral head: CFT from medial epicondyle
Origin of ulnar head: medial Olecranon
Insertion: pisiform, hamate and MC5
Actions: flexion and ulnar deviation of wrist
Nerve: ulnar
MMT: FCU
Sitting or supine.
Forearm supinated, supported. Wrist flexed toward ulnar side. Resist extension and radial devation.
Abductor Pollicis Longus
Origin: posterior ulna distal to supinator; interosseous membrane; posterior middle 1/3 radius.
Insertion: base of MC1, radial side.
Action: abducts and extends CMC of thumb
MMT: APL
Sitting or supine
Wrist stabilized. Semi-supinated. Thumb abducted and extended.
Resist addiction and flexion against MC1 and wrist.
Pectoral Major
Origin (upper fibres): clavicle
Origin (lower fibres): sternum
Insertion: Greater tubercle
