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
