PBA - MIDTERM (shoulder, elbow, wrist) Flashcards
scapulothoracic - LATERAL/ UPWARD ROTATION
EFFECT: increase lateral rotation & elevation, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: use broad & soft contact of numerous bony prominences
scapulothoracic - SUPERIOR GLIDE (shoulder elevation)
EFFECT: increase shoulder elevation & stability, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: use soft & light pressure to prevent mm guarding
GH - LATERAL DISTRACTION
EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: be mindful not to compress ribs & breast tissue
GH - ANTERIOR GLIDE
EFFECT: increase extension, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: anterior joint capsule loose & more lax so don’t over mobilize
GH - POSTERIOR GLIDE
EFFECT: increase internal rotation & flexion, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not allow humerus to externally rotate
GH - INFERIOR GLIDE AT 90º ABD
EFFECT: increase ABD & flexion, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: with inferior joint instability use caution, may provoke pain
humeroulnar - DISTRACTION (#2)
PURPOSE: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: Soft hand approach, to not cause pain. Caution, median nerve and brachial artery are close by medial to the biceps tendon
humeroradial - DISTRACTION (axial)
PURPOSE: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: grasp the wrist proximally, do not pull on the carpal bones
humeroradial - ANTERIOR GLIDE
EFFECT: increase flexion, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: soft hand approach not to cause pain. Patient must not be actively contracting elbow flexors/ extensors, as this will make mobilization ineffective
humeroradial - POSTERIOR GLIDE
EFFECT: increase extension, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: soft hand approach not to cause pain. Patient must not be actively contracting elbow flexors, as this will make mobilization ineffective
proximal radioulnar - ANTERIOR GLIDE (radius on ulna)
EFFECT: increase supination, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: soft hand not to compress radial nerve
proximal radioulnar - POSTERIOR GLIDE (radius on ulna)
EFFECT: increase pronation, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress median nerve & brachial artery
distal radioulnar - POSTERIOR GLIDE (radius on ulna)
EFFECT: increase supination, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress radial & ulnar arteries
distal radioulnar - ANTERIOR GLIDE (radius on ulna)
EFFECT: increase pronation, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress radial & ulnar arteries
radiocarpal - DISTRACTION
EFFECT: increase overall ROM, pain management
PRECAUTIONS: do not compress radial & ulnar arteries
