(93 cards)
Mechanical purpose of shoulder, elbow, WFH
shoulder - mobility and gross placement of handelbow - stabilityWHF - strength and precision
How may carpals, metacarpals, and phlanges
8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, 14 phalanges
name the carpals
scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate
1st Metacarpal lines up with
Trapezium
2nd metacarpal lines up with
trapezoid
3rd MC lines up with
Capitate
4 and 5 MC lines up with
Hamate
Pisiform floats on
triquetrum
commonly fractured
scaphoid
commonly dislocated
lunate
proximal articulating surfaces of long bones
concave
distal articulating surfaces of long bones
convex
purpose of sesamoid bones on first MC
improve mechanical line of pull of the flexor pollicis brevis, abductor pollicis brevis, adductor pollicis muscles
Distal radioulnar joint - degrees of freedom - movements
ulnar head/ulnar notch
1 degree of freedom
pronation and supination
Radiocarpal joint
ellipsoid joint
2 degrees of freedom
flexion and extension
radial and ulnar deviation
fibrous capsule formed by distal radius and the scaphoid and lunate
RCL
radial collateral ligamentlimits ulnar deviation becomes taut when the wrist is at the extreme ranges of flexion and extension
Palmar radiocarpal ligament
controls motion and wrist stability
Dorsal radiocarpal ligament
limits flexion
TFCC
triangular fibrocartilanginous complex-articular disc-dissipates stress imposed on forearm during loading-stabilizes distal radioulnar joint
Intercarpal joints
allow for gliding movements
First CMC joint
2 degrees of freedom synovial saddle joint flexion and extension, abduction and adduction accessory motion: opposition and reposition
CMC joints 2-4
plane synovial joint
1 degree of freedom
flexion and extension
CMC joint 5
2 degrees of freedom
flexion and extension
abduction and adduction
MCP joints
condyloid joints
2 degrees of freedom
flexion and extension
abduction and adduction
