Upper and Lower Limb Flashcards
5 structures that go through carpal tunnel
flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor digitorum profundus, median nerve, flexor carpi radialis, flexor pollicis longus
explain carpal tunnel syndrome
tunnel decreases In size or structure sizes increase
the median nerve is most sensitive so you usually have tingling and diminished sensation in your lateral 3 digits
sufferers usually can’t oppose fingers
features of palmar aponeurosis
deep fascia in a triangle shape of the palm
continuous with palmaris longus tendon and flexor retinaculum
features of flexor and extensor retinaculum
transverse band in the rest that helps keep the tendons and nerves in place
features of dupuytrens contracture
disease where the palmar aponeurosis shortens and thickens
usually bilaterally
causes medial fingers to be bent
features of synovial tendon sheaths
longitudinal bursae that surround tendons
filled with synovial fluid
protects tenants in high stress regions like your digits
features of glenoid labrum
ring-like fibrocartilaginous tissue found on the outside of the glenoid cavity
helps to secure the humeral head
features of peripheral nerves
consist of axons of many neurons bound together by connective tissue

where does the lumbar plexus innervate (motor)
anterior thigh
where does the sacral plexus innervate (motor)
anterior lower leg and all of posterior leg
explain erb-duchenne palsy
upper brachial plexus injury around C5-C6 caused by excessive stretching of neck
causes medially rotation of the arm and “waiter’s tip” hand
