A

to determine whether radial & ulnar arteries are supplying adequate amount of blood to hands. Have patient open/close hand into fist several times, then with the hand in a fist, occlude both radial and ulnar arteries. Patient then opens hand (which should appear pale), release ONE of the arteries while still occluding the other. The hand should flush immediately, if it doesn’t, this is an indication of a problem with that artery. Repeat testing the opposite artery and then the opposite hand as well.

Finkelstein test

A

to test for DeQuervain’s disease, where inflammation of the synovial lining of tunnel 1 in wrist narrows the tunnel opening and results in pain when the tendons move.

72
Q

Ortolani/Barlow test

A

for hip dislocation or subluxation in infants.
barlow maneuver: use a small amount of force. test 1 hip at a time. w/ infant supine, flex hip and knee to 90. adduct thigh and gently push downwards on femur. a positive sign is indicated when you hear a clunk or sensation is felt as the femoral head dislocates from acetabulum.

medial meniscus tear: have pt lie supine on table, w legs extended in neutral position. w/ one hand, grab the heel and flex the leg. place the other hand at the knee joint and begin to rotate the leg internally and externally. feel for any tenderness, palpable or audible “clicking” may indicate a tear.

76
Q

apley distraction test

A

for ligamentous injury: have pt lie prone w leg flexed to 90. stabilize the back of thigh. apply traction to the leg while rotating the tibia internally and externally. this reduces tension on the menisci and puts pressure on the ligaments. if there is a tear the pt will experience pain.

77
Q

apley grinding test

A

have pt lie prone w leg flexed to 90. stabilize the back of the thigh. lean hard on the heel to compress the medal and lateral menisci between the femur and tibia. rotate the tibia internally and externally. if this elicits pain there is probably a meniscus tear.

79
Q

varus/valgus stress

for collateral ligaments damage:
valgus stress- to test the MCL, apply stress by pushing on the lateral aspect of the knee w leg extended.

93
Q

distraction test

A

to assess for C spine pain and determine nerve impingement, place one hand under chin and other under occiput. lift upwards gently. if there is C nerve compression, this test should relive the pain.

94
Q

valsalva test

A

have pt hold their breath and bear down. if pain occurs, have pt describe location. this tests for space-occupying lesion (herniated disc or tumor) by increasing intrathecal pressure.e pain may radiate to dermatome corresponding w/ neurologic level of C spine pathology.

95
Q

adson test

A

determines if there i compression of the subclavian artery. find the pts radial pulse and begin to abduct, extend, and externally rotate the arm. have pt take a deep breath and turn their head toward the arm being tested. if there is compression of the cubclav artery, you will feel a marked diminution or absence of the radial pulse.

96
Q

compression test

A

press down on the top of pts head while sitting or supine, if there is an increase in pain, note distribution & dermatome. test will reproduce pain referred to the upper extremity from the C spine to help locate neurologic level of a prob

97
Q

straight leg raising test

A

test to look for discogenic disease that may be compressing/affecting the sciatic nerve. pt is supine and you passively lit the leg (keep straight) upwards. the foot is then dorsiflexed and if there is pain, it is likely sciatic.

98
Q

hoover test
