Quiz 2 Flashcards
Identify the anatomical structures of the elbow capsule and their functions
ulnar collateral ligament, radial collateral ligament complex (annular, lateral ulnar collateral, radial collateral, and accessory lateral collateral ligaments)
functions:
•Resists joint distraction, hyper-extension and valgus stress. (Safran & Baillargeon, 2005)
•Most lax at 80 degrees of flexion
•Position of comfort after injury
•Risk of flexion contracture
•Ligaments inter-digitate with the capsule and contribute to reinforcing the capsule.
•Wrist and hand muscles contribute to reinforcing the capsule.

common areas for elbow tendinitis
lateral tendinosis: poor quality tendon
failed tendon healing, pain with resisted wrist extension
medial: pain with resisted wrist flexion
contents of the mobile wad of three
brachioradialis, extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis
elbow mobilization devices such as orthosis and continuous passive motion machines
hinged elbow splint
treatment for lateral epicondylitis
- ice, heat, ionto
- anti-inflammatories
- stretch and strengthen wrist extensors
- counterforce brace
- soft tissue techniques
treatment for medial epicondylitis
- ice, heat, ionto
- anti-inflammatories
- stretch and strengthen wrist extensors
- counterforce brace
- soft tissue techniques
treatment for MCL
- hinged elbow orthosis to prevent vagus deformity
- tommy john surgery for
severe - strengthen elbow mx and flexors
treatment for LCL
- hinged or static orthosis to prevent varus deformity
- strengthen elbow mx and extensors
treatment for posterior dislocations
- elbow and wrist orthosis with forearm in neutral
- remove 3-5x day for safe motion (unstable at 0-20 deg extension)
- edema control
possible causes for frozen shoulder
Underlying pathology of Frozen shoulder: adhesive capsulitis, impingement syndrome, peri arthritis
Determine the contributions of the sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints
*Functional motions of the shoulder girdle:
scapulothoracic joint not a true synovial joint, provides rotation of the scapula on the chest wall
sternoclavicular joint acts as a radius of limb-girdle motion
acromioclavicular joint: provides adaptive motion between the clavicle and scapula
scapular motion realistic to A-C joint:
Phase I: SC elevation and AC posterior tilt = 16° scapula upward rotation
Phase II & III: SC elevation & posterior rotation = 2° scapula posterior tilt
Phase II & III:SC retraction and AC internal rotation = 2° scapula external rotation.
scapular force coupling
upward rotation, posterior tilt, and external rotation
scapular force couple muscles: all fibers of trapezius and serratus anterior
shoulder sequential evaluation
history
- insidious (sleeping, sports, working)
- traumatic (mechanism, surgery)
- upper quarter screen –> AROM –> PROM –> palpation, mobilization, special tests –> treatment plan
capsular restrictions and ROM lost in individuals with adhesive capsulitis
Recognize capsular restrictions and ROM lost in individuals with adhesive capsulitis.
