UE/LE CST Flashcards
arm extended, internally rotated and slightly abducted. No traction is applied.
subscapularis
arm into flexion and adduction with slight internal rotation and traction across the body.
anterior ACC
arm into extension and slight horizontal adduction, then applies traction at wrist.
posterior ACC
arm posteriorly over the side of the table and toward their feet. Patient arm extended and internally rotated and slightly abducted. Doctor applies traction to the arm.
Latissimus dorsi: it’s just subscapularis + traction, and being a little bit laterally
arm is flexed and internally rotated, with dorsum of hand/forearm lying on forehead. Doctor applies downward pressure along the humerus to the monitoring finger.
long head of biceps
arm is flexed and internally rotated, with dorsum of hand/forearm lying on forehead. Doctor applies downward pressure along the humerus to the monitoring finger. fine-tuning with adduction is added + arm more across chest.
small head of biceps: Same position as long head + fine-tuning with adduction is added + arm more across chest.
patient’s arm is abducted to 45 degrees, flexed to 45 degrees, and externally rotated 45 degrees.
supraspinatus
grasps patient’s elbow with caudad hand so that thumb is on TP and hand around forearm. Hyperextends elbow over monitoring hand, with fine-tuning in abduction or adduction
extension elbow
flexes patient’s elbow, pronates and abducts arm, then pulls forearm out laterally.
flexion elbow
monitors TP with one hand while taking elbow into supination and fully extending elbow over their knee with other hand. (do NOT hyperextend the elbow!)
radial head
Doctor monitors TP and flexes wrist (but not fully), pulling thumb across palmar aspect of hand: monitor @ Flexor side of base of 1st or 2nd metacarpal on thenar eminence
Flexion Wrist:Palmar Wrist (Flexor Carpi Radialis) position 1
Doctor monitors TP and flexes wrist (but not fully), pulling thumb across palmar aspect of hand: monitor @ Flexor side of base of 1st metacarpal or slightly later
Flexion Thumb AKA: Palmar Wrist (Flexor Carpi Radialis) position 2
Doctor monitors TP and wraps patient’s hand around TP by extending wrist and monitoring TP with other hand, fine tune with rotation of wrist.
Extension Wrist AKA: Dorsal Wrist (Extensor Carpi Radialis and Ulnaris)
Extensor (dorsal) Carpometacarpal monitoring site
right above the knuckles on the posterior aspect of the hand
Superolateral aspect of the posterior surface of the greater trochanter Probably the lateral aspect of the piriformis muscle
Posterior Lateral Trochanter PLT
Extension • Marked external rotation • Abduction if needed for fine tuning
PLT- EERAB
Tender Point located: Inferior to greater trochanter and in mid-coronal line
Lateral Trochanter
Treatment: Prone with lower extremity in abduction of hip only
ABduction- LT “Ab-LT” about to get lit
Palpate from about 2- 3 cm caudad to ASIS by pushing toward inferior aspect of ASIS
Sartorius
Near attachment @ ASIS
Sartorius
Hip flexion to about 135, with slight abduction
first sartorius tx Flexion/Abduction = FLAB
Flex hip to about 90 + Abduction about 45 + External rotation.
sartorius, the other position FLABER
at a site on the knee push anterior to posterior, then treat with HYPEREXTENSION of knee
patellar tendon
Medial Hamstring TP
TP located @ attachment of medial hamstring tendon – Lateral to the medial meniscus TP
medial hamstring TP direction of forces
Push medial to lateral, posterior to superior
medial hamstring TP tx position
Pt. supine, doc stands on side of dysfunction Place foot on table and pt’s foot under flexed knee Monitor TP with cephalad hand FLEX KNEE EXTERNALLY ROTATE Tibia on Femur Fine tune w ADDUCTION
8 Oclock S.E.Ab and L.E.Ab.T
8 oclock for both Subscapularis: Extend, Abduct Latissimus dorsi: extend, abduct, traction
