A

Lateral meniscus

29
Q

What will a positive McMurray’s test be?

30
Q

What does Adson’s test examine?

A

For thoracic outlet syndrome

31
Q

What is thoracic outlet syndrome?

A

Compression of the subclavian artery by a rib or tightened anterior and middle scalene muscles

32
Q

How is Adson’s test done?

A

Take patients radial pulse at wrist, abduct extend and externally rotate the arm, instruct pt to take a deep breath and turn his head toward arm being tested

33
Q

What is a positive sign for Adson’s test?

A

If there is a marked diminution or absence of radial pulse during the maneuver

34
Q

What is Gaenslen’s test examining?

A

For SI joint pathology

35
Q

How is Gaenslen’s test done?

A

Have patient lie supine, ask to draw both legs onto chest

Shift them to side of table so one buttock extends over the edge of table, allow unsupported leg to drop over the edge

36
Q

What is Yergason’s test for?

A

Biceps tendon pathology, the stability of the long head of the biceps tendon in the bicipital groove; bicipital tendinitis

37
Q

How if Yergason’s test done?

A

Instruct pt to flex elbow, grasp flexed elbow in one hand while holding the wrist with other hand, externally rotate the patients arm and as the patient resists, at the same time pull downward on elbow

38
Q

What is a positive Yergason’s sign?

A

If the bicipital tendon pops out of the groove, pt will experience pain

39
Q

What are the two elements to test for meningismus?

A

Brudzinski’s sign and Kernig’s sign

40
Q

What is a positive Kernig’s sign?

A

Pain and increased resistance to knee extensions

41
Q

What is a positive Brudzinski’s sign?

A

While lifting the head, if the hips and knees involuntarily lift up

42
Q

How is Kernig’s sign done?

A

Flex patients leg at both hip and knee, slowly extend the leg and straighten the knee

43
Q

What is a positive sign for splenic percussion sign?

A

Change in percussion note from tympani to dullness on inspiration is positive

44
Q

How is the splenic percussion sign done?

A

Percuss lowest interspace in left anterior axillary line (Traube’s space), ask patient to take a deep breath and percussion again

45
Q

What is the normal result of splenic percussion sign (no splenomegaly)?

A

Percussion not usually remains tympanic

46
Q

When should you assess for ankle clonus?

A

When reflexes seem hyperactive

47
Q

Sustained clonus points to what?

A

CNS disease

48
Q

Clonus must be present for a reflex to be graded a what?

A

4

49
Q

If ankle clonus test is positive, where is the lesion located?

A

Upper motor neuron lesion

50
Q

How do you assess for ankle clonus?

A

Support knee, with other hand, dorsiflex and plantarflex the foot a few times while encouraging patient to relax, then sharply dorsiflex and maintain it

51
Q

What is the normal result of ankle clonus assessment?

A

After sharp dorsiflexion, the ankle does not react to the stimulus

52
Q

What does pronator drift assess for?

A

Stroke

53
Q

What is a positive pronator drift sign?

A

If the arms are unequal its a stroke until proven otherwise

54
Q

How is pronator drift assessed?

A

Pt should stand for 20-30 seconds with eyes closed and both arms held straight forward with palms up, tap the arms briskly downward and they should return to horizontal position

55
Q

What does the straight leg raise test examine?

A

Designed to reproduce back and leg pain so its cause can be identified as sciatica or hamstring tightness

56
Q

How is straight leg raise test done?

A

Keep leg straight, raise it up until patient feels pain, lower leg slightly, then dorsiflex the foot to stretch the sciatic nerve and re-produce sciatic pain

57
Q

How do you do the well leg straight leg raise test?

A

Have patient lie supine, raise uninvolved leg

58
Q

If the patient complains of back and sciatic pain on the opposite side, what does that point to when doing the well leg straight leg raise test?
