MSK Flashcards
ULTT1
Median nerve bias
Abduct arm to 110 degrees, flex elbow to 90, externally rotate shoulder, extend elbow, wrist, and fingers
ULTT1 biases …
median nerve, roots C5-7, anterior interosseous nerve
ULTT2
same as the ULTT1 except that you only abduct the arm to 10°
Biases Median nerve + axillary nerve + musculocutaneous nerve
ULTT2 biases …
Median nerve + axillary nerve + musculocutaneous nerve
ULTT3
radial nerve
Depress the shoulder and bring the arm into 10° of abduction. Then flex your patient’s wrist and fingers, pronate the forearm and flex the elbow to 90°. Now slowly extend the elbow to lengthen the neurological structures
When can ULTT be determined positive
When 1 or more is present
greater than 10 degrees difference side to side
Reproduction of pain
Contralateral cervical side bending increases symptoms, or ipsilateral side bending decreases symptoms
ULTT4
ulnar nerve bias
Shoulder girdle depression
Shoulder abduction 110
Shoulder external rotation
Forearm PRONATION
Wrist and Finger extension
Elbow flexion
MMT clavicular head pec major
pure horizontal adduction
MMT sternal head pec major
pulling down adduction toward the opposite pocket
Palpation of extensor carpi radialis longus
In line with 2nd metacarpal
Palpation of extensor carpi radialis brevis
In line with third metacarpal
Psoas abcess
collection of pus in psoas muscle
Chondromalacia patella
“runners knee”
dull aching pain in front of knee and behind patella
irritation of the hyaline cartilage undersurface of the patella
typically see more pain with inactivity
Early muscle training should be ….
focus on isometric and eccentric contractions because muscle tension is better maintained than concentric
Increased hip retroversion produces
toe out during gait
Males tend to have more anteversion or retroversion
retroversion
Females tend to have more anteversion or retroversion
anteversion
If patient presents with toe in gait pattern they are most likely …
anteverted
If patient presents with toe out gait pattern they are most likely …
retroverted
If Craigs tests measures 8-15 degrees =
normal
If Craigs test measures greater than 15 degrees =
anteversion
If Craigs test measures less than 8 degrees =
retroversion
Egawa sign
indicative of ulnar nerve palsy
with patients hand flat on the table, have them lift the middle finger and radially/ulnar deviate it
Froments sign
Flexion of phalanx of thumb via FPL (median nerve) to compensate for weak adductor pollicis
Jeannes sign
ulnar nerve palsy
MCP hyperextension with thumb IP flexion
compensate for weak adductor pollicis
Main restraints to horizontal shear force in AC joint
superior and inferior AC ligaments
Coracoacromial ligament prevents
upward displacement of the humeral head
Ober vs Modified Ober Test
Ober - knee bent
Modified Ober - knee straight
TMJ Anterior disc displacement symtpoms
affected joint will have limited ROM. ipsilateral deviation, and a hard end-feel as the mandibular condyle jams against the displaced disk
Bruxism
clenching of jaw/grinding of teeth
Otitis
infection/inflammation of ear
think otolith
Epistaxis
nose bleed
Structural vs functional scoliosis
functional - easily corrected with postural correction/typical of musculature imbalance - no rib hump seen
structural scoliosis - fixed rib hump
Digital prehension grasp
same thing as 3 point chuck
ex holding a pencil
Tip pinch grip
picking a coin or marble up off the table with thumb and index finger only
Hook grasp
carrying a bucket handle
Deeper water w/ aquatic therapy is going to ….
increase bouyancy
increase resistance/drag
Weak and pain free
total rupture
Weak and painful
partial rupture or fracture
Strong and painless
normal
strong and painful
grade 1 tear - minor muscle or tendon injury
Surgery for compression fracture
vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty
Common areas for compression fractures
T10-12

Amount of knee flexion for
walking
stairs
bike
60 degrees
90-100?
90 degrees
What exercises are contraindicated for ankylosing spondylitis
Flexion
need to emphasize extension and rotation
Wider or narrower intracondylar notch = higher risk of ACL tear
narrower - think females are “skinner”
PF and inversion most likely damages what ligament in the ankle
ATFL
DF and inversion most likely damages what ligament in the ankle
CF ligament
