test one Flashcards
a painful disorder of the fingers, hand, and/or wrist due to the compression of the brachial nerve plexus and vessels between the neck and shoulder
Causes: tilting the head forward, hunching the shoulders forward, and continuously reaching overhead
symptoms: numbness, tingling, and/or pain in the fingers, hand or wrist
thoracic outlet syndrome
a painful inflammation of the muscle tendons in the shoulder region
Causes: holding the elbow above waist level and holding the upper arm away from the body
symptoms: severe pain and impaired function of the shoulder joint
rotator cuff tendinitis
a painful disorder of the wrist and hand caused by compression of the median nerve between the two heads of the pronator teres muscle
causes: holding the lower arm away from the body
symptoms: similar to those of carpal tunnel syndrome
pronator syndrome
a painful disorder of the fingers due to injury of the extensor muscles of the thumb and fingers
causes: extending the fingers independently of each other
symptoms: numbness, pain and loss of strength in the fingers
extensor wad strain
a painful disorder of the wrist and hand caused by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel of the wrist
causes: the nerve fibers of the median nerve originate in the spinal cord in the neck; therefore, poor posture can cause symptoms of CTS. other causes include repeatedly bending the hand up, down, or from side to side at the wrist and continuously pinch-gripping an instrument without resting the muscles
symptoms: numbness, pain, tingling in the thumb, index and middle fingers
carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)
a painful disorder of the lower arm and wrist caused by compression of the ulnar nerve of the arm as it passes through the wrist
causes: bending of the hand up, down, or from side to side at the wrist and holding the little finger a full span away from the hand
symptoms: numbness, tingling, and/or loss of strength in the lower arm or wrist
ulnar nerve entrapment
a painful inflammation of the tendons on the side of the wrist and at the base of the thumb
causes: hand twisting, forceful gripping, bending the hand back or to the side
symptoms: pain on the side of the wrist and the base of the thumb; sometimes movement of the wrist yields a crackling noise
tenosynovitis
a painful inflammation of the tendons of the wrist resulting from strain
causes: repeatedly extending the hand up or down at the wrist
symptoms: pain in the wrist, especially on the outer edges of the hand, rather than through the center of the wrist
