27
Q

What causes frozen shoulder

29
Q

Where does the bicep insert

A

assists with abduction and internal rotation

31
Q

What movement does the short head of the bicep control

A

Adduction (to the coracoid)

32
Q

When both heads of the bicep fire together, what movement do they control

36
Q

What type of bicep tendon rupture is most significant

A

distal

37
Q

What movement does the flexor carpi radials allow for

A

Flexion and abduction of the wrist

38
Q

What movement doesn’t the flexor carpi ulnaris allow for

A

Flexion and adduction of the wrist

39
Q

Q

Which muscle extends the wrist and abducts the hand

A

Extensor carpi radialis

43
Q

What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the hand

extrinsic come from forearm

44
Q

What is a side effect of medial epicondylitis

A

decreased grip strength

45
Q

What causes dupuytrens contracture

A

Proliferative disorder of myofibroblasts that leads to fibrosis of palmar fascia

46
Q

What is the progression of dupuytrens contracture

A

Starts as nodule and progresses to for cords that pull the MCP and PIP into flexion

47
Q

Overgrowth of fibrocartilage that causes narrowing of the first annular pulley passage of the hand is descriptive of which pathology

A

trigger finger

48
Q

What is a contracture

A

Chronic, progressive loss of joint ROM secondary to tightening of non-bony tissue

49
Q
