ULOrx Flashcards
When should a tibial fracture be braced?
Two to four weeks. And when the fracture is closed
When should a tibia fracture require a custom brace
Delayed or non-union. Also delayed orthotic intervention.
Humerus fractures, what type of fractures and when typically is brace applied
Diaphyseal fractures, 7 to 14 days
What is responsible for aligning the fracture. Contraindication related?
Gravity, non-ambulatory patients
Recommended exercise routine after humerus fracture
Pendulum and circumduction movements
What is the ideal position when placing an arm in a sling
Adduction and internal rotation
Hemi sling, how does that unweight the shoulder joint
Transfers weight around 2 the back of the neck
Name three diagnosis associated with a sling
Stroke shoulder subluxation, brachial plexus injury
Long opponens who, controls these two motions, does not limit these two motions, wrist is commonly in in what degrees
Controls ulnar and Radial deviation, does not limit pronation or supination, commonly 0 to 20 degrees wrist position
Wrist driven who, indicated by strength in these two muscles
Good extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis allows tenodesis
General range of motion to perform ATL’s
5 degrees flexion, 30 degrees extension, 10° radio 15° owner
This amount of elbow flexion contracture does not affect impairment
30 degrees or less
Efficient prehensile function 5 qualities
Stable wrist, two opposing digits, Palmer Mobility, sensation, pain free
Name six prehension
Cylindrical grasp, tip, hook, Palmer, spherical grasp lateral
Wrist position of greatest strength
35 degrees extension 7 degrees ulnar deviation
Describe a motor level, sensory level, radiographic level 4 nerve injuries
Motor is last level with 3 or 5, sensory level is last with preserved sensation, radiographic is level of fracture
CMC joints are located just distal to these two Palmar creases
Distal and proximal Palmar crease
Location of wrist wrap on who
Wrist crease
Name the three arches of the hand
Distal transverse Arch, proximal transverse Arch, longitudinal Arch
Possible intervention for high-level tetraplegia level
Long opponents
Assistive device criteria
Simple and low technology, Independence and donning, low profile, cosmetic
Basic opponens, fxn and indication
Support distal tran. Arch.
Poor abd polices brevis.
Abduction bar, thumb post, fxn and indication
Static thumb positioning and
Inadequate thumb opposition and flexion.
Spring swivel thumb
Fxn and indications
Dynamic positioning of thumb in abd,
- 0 to poor APB
- Fair to Normal Add policis and fpl, epl.
MCP Ext stop fxn and indications
Prevent MCP hyperextension,
Intrinsic weakness, intact ext digitorum.
MP, finger extension assist, fxn and indications
Assist PIP and DIP extentions,
Intrinsic weakness and intact ext digitorum
