- note freedom in adduction and restriction to abduction (radial deviation)
- perform bilaterally
- documented in objective of SOAP as wrist adduction ( ulnar deviation) SD
9
Q
Finger ABduction
A
- dr. facing seated pt
- hand in supination
- perform on all digits EXCEPT thumb
- apply force to move distal end of jt away (contact proximal phalanx) from midline (long finger/3rd digit) and towards midline (ADduction) while stabilizing distal metacarpal
- state ease of motion into ABduction and restriction to adduction
- perform bilaterally
- documented in objective of SOAP sepcific to laterality, # of digit, and jt being passive moved eg: right 2nd metacarpophalangeal joint ABduction SD
