Q

why is there only 1 df at the humeroulnar joint?

A

so that muscles that originate on the distal humerus have more stability to allow for distal mobility

74
Q

describe radial deviation at the wrist of carpals?

scaphoid and lunate move palmarly and then the trapezius and trapezoid move dorsally

76
Q

allows freedom of motion would have half the ROM without this. Coupling motion accommodates narrowing space

Q

name the muscle synergies (there’s 6)

  4. wrist and finger flexion
  5. FCU and ECU

94
Q

what is the muscle synergy between ECR(L or B) and ED?

A

weak ECR leads to wrist extension combined with finger extension due to ED compensation

95
Q

what is the muscle synergy between FCU and ADM?

A

ADM originates on pisiform, FCU contraction stabilizes pisiform to allow abduction of 5th digit, “proximal stability leads to distal mobility”

96
Q

what is the muscle synergy between ECU and EP(L or B)?

A

during thumb extension ECU maintains the hand in neutral position and avoids radial deviation

97
Q

what is the muscle synergy between wrist and finger flexion?

A

extend wrist, fingers flex. flex wrist, fingers extend
(minimizes active and passive insufficiency by slacking the muscle)

98
Q

what is tenodesis?

A

minimal active wrist extension= adaptive shortening of finger flexors
increased passive tension= increased ADL function
series of parallel elastic components advantage to produce “tension or force”

99
Q

what do we do with tenodesis?

A

use the stiffness to your advantage
gravity flexes wrist to allow hand to open. passive tension in the wrist extensors opens the hand. active extension by ECRB creates passive tension in the flexors to grasp object

100
Q

what do we not do with tenodesis?

A

DONT stretch out finger flexors

101
Q
