Q

what is done in Hawkin’s impingement sign?

A

flex the px’s shoulder and elbow to 90deg with the palm facing down. With one hand on the forearm and one on the arm, rotate the arm internally

Q

what is done in supraspinatus strength or empty can test?

A

elevate the arms to 90deg & internally rotate the arms with the thumbs pointing down, as if emptying a can.

Ask the px to resist as u place downward pressure on the arms

(+) = weakness indicates possible rotator cuff tear

Q

what is done during palpation of the elbow?

A

palpate olecranon process & press over the epicondyles for tenderness or effusion

20
Q

tenderness distal to the epicondyle is common in what condition?

A

L epicondylitis (tennis elbow) & less common in medial epicondylitis (pitcher’s or golfer’s elbow)

21
Q

what are the diff ROM of the elbow?

extension
supination
pronation

22
Q

what are important things to note of the hands & wrists?

23
Q

what is examined upon inspection of hands wrists?

A
  • inspect position of the hands in motion
  • inspect the palmar & dorsal surface of the wrist & hand carefully for swelling over joints of signs of trauma
  • note any deformities of the wrist, hand, or finger bones
  • thenar & hypothenar eminences
  • flexion contractures in the fingers
24
Q

what is palpated in the hands & wrists?

A
  • palpate the distal radius and ulna on the L & M surfaces

28
Q

What is done in the Phalen’s sign?

A
  • ask the px to hold the wrists in flexion for 60 secs
  • ask the px to press the backs of both hands together to form right angles

(+) = numbness & tingling in medial nerve distribution
