Q

Clinical Significance: suboccipitals

A

can become really tight with a forward head posture

When tight they trigger head aches

They can be tender so it is good to palpate

22
Q

Radiocapitular Compression Test

Study These Flashcards
A

Radiocapitular Compression Test

  • axial load with RD, palpate radial head

23
Q

The UCL tests and the radiocapitular tests are all designed to check for _________.

Study These Flashcards
A

VEOS (Valgus Extension Overload Syndrome)

24
Q

All Elbow Special Tests (6)

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Cyriax
  2. Valgus/Varus
  3. Milking
  4. Radiocapitular Compression 5. Tinel’s Sign
  5. Pronator Teres Syndrome Test
25
Boxer's fracture
fourth or fifth metacarpal fracture because there is more mobility in those metacarpals
26
palpate CMC joints, common problem here
arthritis will often cause pain here
27
Philanges palpation
* PIP (pain instability) * DIP (pain, mobility) * Bouchard's nodes * Heberden's Nodes
28
Bouchard's Nodes
Enlargement at PIP from RA
29
Heberden's nodes
enlargement at DIP from osteoarthritis
30
feel for ____ in palmar facia
nodules
31
tufts of fingers
part of observation/palpation
32
Finger & thumb Special Tests: Stability (4)
1. Axial Load (finger/thumb) 2. Grind Test (thumb) 3. Thumb UCL (0, slight flexion) 4. Collateral Ligaments of Fingers
33
Finger/Thumb Special Tests, Musculotendinous: (3)
1. Finkelstein Test - 1st tunnel 2. Sweater/Jersey Finger - Flexor Digitorum profundus 3. Mallet Finger - Extensor Digitorum Communis
34
Hand Special Tests, Circulation: (2)
1. Allen's Test - compress radial and ulnar arteries at wrist while flexing hand 10 times, let one go, observe refill. Repeat but let other one go. 2. Digital Bloodflow (same as capillary refill)
35
Hand neurological Special tests: (6)
1. Tinnel's (carpal tun - median; Guyon's tun - ulnar) 2. Phalen's (reverse prayer - median) 3. Froment's Sign (paper pinch - ulnar nerve, AdP) 4. OK Sign (median - FPL & FDP) 5. Semmes Weinstein (filament) 6. Weber's two point discrimination test (paperclip)
36
Three best tests for Carpal Tunnel
1. Tinel 2. Phalen 3. Semmes Weinstein
37
Weber's Two point discrimination Test norm
6mm Do on nerve distribution
38
Deformity in swan neck deformity?
flexion MCP and DIP, extension of PIP
39
Boutonniere deformity is a?
finger joint deformity -PIP flexion with DIP hyperextension from RA
40
Murphy's sign
dislocation of the lunate. make a fist; veiw knuckles. As the examiner, visually inspect the dorsal aspect of the hand. Normally the knuckle formed by the head of the third metacarpal is more prominent and protrudes further distally as compared to the knuckles of the second and fourth metacarpal heads. If the knuckle of the third metacarpal head is level with the knuckles of the second and fourth metacarpal heads, the sign is positive and indicative of a lunate dislocation.
41
Clinical significance of tunnel one (2):
1. senosing tenosynovitis 2. DeQuervain's Syndrome
42
Clincal Significance of Tunnel 4
If pt has RA, tendons can develop cysts and rupture. Tendons are Extensor Digitorum Communis and Extensor Indicis
43
Clinical significance of tunnel 6
this tendon commonly ruptures if there is a colles fracture (extensor carpi ulnaris is in this tunnel)
44
Wrist Special Tests (4)
1. Lunotriquetrum Ballottement test 2. Murphey's Sign - fist with 3rd dropped 3. Watson's Test, (scaphoid fracture) palpate scaphoid and PROM flex and RD - ext and UD 4. Scaphoid Stress Test - (scaphoid fracture) palpate scaphoid and AROM flex and RD - ext andUD
