Skils checkoff #2 Flashcards
HU
the trochlea (larger) of the humerus against the trochlea notch of the ulna
Humeroulnar
HR
The capitulum (smaller) of the humerus against the radial head of the radius (HR )
Humeral Radial
RU
norms
Radial Ulnar (superior/inferior)
Elbow Flexion: 0-150˚
Supination: 80˚
Pronation: 80˚
Goniometric Testing landmarks for elbow/wrist
- Radial/ulnar styloid process
- lateral epicondyle of humerus
- Olecranon Process
- Acromion Process
Elbow Flexion setup
Supine
Shoulder position neutral, elbow extended, forearm fully supinated
Stabilize humerus to prevent shoulder flexion, may use towel/pad
Test PROM flexion until resistance felt and attempts to substitute
Soft end feel normal
Elbow Flexion measurements
Center fulcrum over lateral epicondyle
Align stationary arm lateral midline of humerus, center of acromion for reference
Align moveable arm with lateral midline of radius (may use radial head/styloid process for reference)
Elbow Extension setup and measurement
same as flexion but.. Hard End feel
Extension is a return to the starting position for flexion- Normal is 0˚, if lacking full extension, then record as:
-5˚ extension
If hyperextended, record as:
5˚ extension
MMT
manual muscle testing
MLT
Muscle Length testing
What is in the anatomical snuff box
Brevis sandwich
Abductor pollicis longus
extensor pollicis brevis
extensor pollicis longus
Listers Tubercle
posterior wrist, bony landmark, more on the radial side
Measuring wrist extension/flexion
Fulcrum is on the ulnar styloid process
Normal ROM for flexion is 80. Ext is 70.
Planes of motion
Axis of motion
a plane moves, axis does not
horizontal (transverse)
frontal
sagital
Plane is the surface on which the movement occurs. Axis is the line around which the movement takes place.
Active insufficiency
muscle is shortened so it cannot be apply efficient force.
example of hip extension. when shorten(flex lower leg) you can’t extend.
Passive insufficiency
muscle is lengthened so cannot be as flexible
ex. lie on back and raise leg. if leg is straight you lengthening muscles so won’t have the same stretch compared to when you flex your lower leg and then flex upper leg.,
different wrist positions, what muscles are working
punching- brachialis
mid prone or neutral- brachioradialis
supinate- biceps brachii
ligaments of the wrist
ulnar & radial collateral- get taut by doing ulnar/radial deviation.
Dorsal radiocarpal- ulna to carpals. taut by flexing wrist
volar radiocarpal & volar ulnocarpal- wrist extension on each side
volar
means palm
how to feel for scaphoid
snuff box
What goes through the carpal tunnel?
Median nerve, FDP (flexor digitorum profundus, FDS- flexor digitorum Longus, flexor pollicus longus
end feel for elbow extension/flexion
soft when flexed, hard with extension
normal ROM for elbow ext/flexion
flexion is 150
ext is 0
finding radial head
find lateral epicondyle and then go towads hand and feel depression and after dip you have the radial head
Normal ROM for supination and pronation
80 for both
testing for pronation
have patient sit, stabilze humerus at first, PROM it, hard end feel. START MID PRONE put fulcrum at ulnar styloid process, align stationary (both) with humerus, have pronate and follow with moveable arm
MLT for biceps brachii
if there is shortness, elbow ext will be limited when shoulder is extended
lay down supine, arm of side of table. stabilize humerus, have arm at 90 and use Goni starting at 90 and have them straighten arm. If not at 90 you could be having shorten of biceps brachia
MLT for triceps brachii
laying supine, have patient flex shoulder up over head while you stabilize humerus
If you see limited range of motion
it could be due to muscle length so you would need to check MLT
2 muscles of biceps brachii
medial- short head
lateral- long head
Origin Short head: coracoid process of the scapula.
Long head: supraglenoid tubercle
Insertion Radial tuberosity and bicipital aponeurosis into deep fascia on medial part of forearm
3 heads of triceps brachia
Origin:
Long head: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula
Lateral head: above the radial sulcus
Medial head: below the radial sulcus
Insertion: Olecranon process of ulna
MMT on arm muscles
sitting with while stabilizing shoulder
Biceps: wrist supine
Brachialis: break your face, prone
Brachioradialis: mid prone
Triceps/Anconeus: lying supine, elbow in air, stabilize humerus, raise hand with resistance
wrist ROM norms
Flex- 80
ext- 70
radial deviation-20
ulnar deviation is 30
How to find Lunate
- first find Lesters
- then follow 2 & 3 MC’s down till you hit a depression and you are on lunate
how to find trapezuim
follow thumb MC down until you feel gap (extensor side?)
