Wrist And Hand Flashcards
arthokinematics of radiocarpal and midcarpal joints
convex on concave (opposite)
limited motion in the ______ compartment of the midcarpal joint
lateral
flexion of the wrist athrokinematics
palmar roll, dorsal slide
athrokinematics of ulnar deviation
ulnar roll. radial slide
ulnar tilt
25 degrees
palmar tilt
10 degrees
control length tension relationships in the hand. function of what
wrist
maximum grip strength
20-35 degrees extension
least grip strength
full flexion
loss of stability in one or more segment ________ mechanical dysfunction
increases
which is more important for ADL flex or ext.
radial or ulnar
ext, ulnar
ext occurs with
radial deviation
flexion occurs with
ulnar deviation
proximal attachments on the forearm and distal attachments within the wrist
extrinsic wrist ligaments (more likely to tear, but good healing)
reinforces posterior radiocarpal joint, guides arthrokinematics of proximal row
dorsal radiocarpal ligament
prevents anterior dislocation of the unstable lunate
dorsal radiocarpal ligament
stronger and thicker than dorsal RC lig. passive tension(even in neutral), maximally taut in full extension
palmar radiocarpal ligament
ligament that provides little stability
radial collateral ligament
binds the distal radius and ulna while allowing distal radius to rotate for pronation/supination
TFCC- triangular fibrocartilage complex
primary stabilizer of distal radio-ulnar joint
reinforces ulnar side of wrist
forms concavity in radiocarpal joint
transfers forces from hand to forearm (20% of compressive forces)
TFCC -triangular fibrocartilage complex
triangular fibrocartilage complex disc is _____ avascular
80%
both proximal and distal attachments within the wrist
intrinsic wrist ligamanets
stronger, lie within the synovial lining, but slow healing capacity because they are poorly vascularized
intrinsic wrist ligaments
stabilize and unites the distal row
short ligaments
allow distal row to function as a single mechanical unit
short intrinsic ligaments
guides arthrokinematics (long ligament)
palmar intercarpal V ligament
intrinsic wrist lig that provides transverse stability
dorsal intercarpal ligament
Describe arthokinematics at the cmc joint of the thumb
abduction/add - convex concave (opposite)
flex/ext - concave on convex (same)
opposition of thumb
start with abd then go into flex

palmar tilt
which bone sits on top of the triquetrum
pisiform
which bone enhances pull of FCU by giving it a longer moment arm?
pisiform
which bone spans both rows of carpals
scaphoid
the radiocarpal joint is considered a ____ joint
condyloid
what is the primary stabilizer of distal r-u joint and transfers forces from hand to forearm

what arthokinematics do the radiocarpal and medial comp of midcarpal follow?
convex on concave (opposite)
arthokin of ext of wrist
dorsal roll, palmar slide
arthokin of wrist flexion
palmar roll, dorsal slide
arthokin of uln deviation. radial?
ulnar roll, radial slide. opposite for radial
prox and mid phalanges have ___ bases and ____ heads
concave, convex
