What are the ACR classification criteria for fibromyalgia?
|
Widespread pain (must have axial, r side, l side, above waist and below waist)for at least 3 months
Pain in 11 of 18 trigger pts |
|
|
What are the trigger points in fibromyalgia? (9 paired points)
|
Occiput: Bilateral, at the suboccipital muscle insertions.
Low cervical: bilateral, at the anterior aspects of the intertransverse spaces at C5-C7. Trapezius: bilateral, at the midpoint of the upper border. Supraspinatus: bilateral, at origins, above the scapula spine near the medial border. Second rib: bilateral, at he second costochondral junctions, just lateral to the junctions on upper surfaces. Lateral epicondyle: bilateral, 2 cm distal to the epicondyles. Gluteal: bilateral, in upper outer quadrants of buttocks in anterior fold of muscle. Greater trochanter: bilateral, posterior to the trochanteric prominence. Knee: bilateral, at the medial fat pad proximal to the joint line. |
|
|
Fibromyalgia: population and associated symptoms (4)
|
Females 20-50
Sx: sleep disturbance (stage IV), anxiety or depression, irritable bowel syndrome, obsessive-compulsive behavior |
|
|
ACR classification of SLE -- need 4 of these 11 either sequentially or concurrently
|
1) Malar rash
2) Discoid rash 3) Photosensitivity 4) Oral ulcers 5) Arthritis 6) Serositis (pleurisy or pericarditis) 7) Renal disorder (3+ protein or casts) 8) Neuro disorder (seizures or psychosis) 9) Hematologic abnormalities 10) Immunologic disorder (anti-DNA antibody, anti-5m antibody, antiphospholipid antibody) 11) positive ANA in absence of drugs causing it |
|
|
Osteoarthritis -- history
|
Older adults
asymmetrical joint pain & stiffness Improves throughout the day Hx repetitive trauma Obesity |
|
|
Osteoarthritis -- PE
|
DIP & PIP joint enlargement
Heberden's nodes Limited C-spine ROM |
|
|
Osteoarthritis -- dx'tic studies
|
Increased ESR
Radiographs show osteophytes, loss of joint space |
|
|
Rheumatoid arthritis -- hx
|
Morning stiffness of small joints
Symmetrical involvement Anorexia Weight loss |
|
|
Rheumatoid arthritis -- PE
|
Fever
Rheumatoid nodules (soft, spongy, on elbows, forearms, and hands) Ulnar deviation of wrists |
|
|
Rheumatoid arthritis -- assoc conditions (3)
|
Pleuritis, pericarditis, vasculitis
|
|
|
What is Yergason's test and how do you do it?
|
Tests for bicipital tendonitis.
Pt supinates the forearm against resistance |
|
|
Explain one test for rotator cuff tear.
|
Pt externally rotates and abducts the shoulder.
Partial tear - abducts but cannont maintain against resistance Full tear -- attempt to abduct = shoulder shrug |
|
|
How do you test for tennis elbow?
|
Pt resists forearm supination with the elbow flexed 90 degrees
Pain suggests lateral humeral epicondylitis |
|
|
What is Finkelstein's test and how do you do it?
|
Pt flexes fingers over a clenched thumb then passively deviate the wrist ulnarly
+ pain in de Quervain's syndrome (1st dorsal compartment tenosynovitis) |
|
|
What is Tinel's sign?
|
Provider taps over median nerve to assess for compression neuropathy
+ test is prickling or tingling along the 1st 3 digits, wrist pain |
|
|
What is Phalen's test?
|
Pt palmar flexes hands with dorsal surfaces together and holds for one minute
Tests for compression neuropathy (carpal tunnel) + test is numbness and parasthesia in the fingers |
|
|
How do you perform the iliopsoas muscle test & when do you use it?
|
Checks for iliopsoas tendinitis
Seated pt places heel of the affected leg on the knee of the other leg |
|
|
What is Foucher's sign and what does a + and a - test mean?
|
Change in the consistency of a mass in the popliteal fossa that hardens with extension and softens with flexion
+ = popliteal tumor or aneurysm - = Baker's cyst |
|
|
What is a Bulge sign?
|
If there is fluid in the knee joint, applying lateral pressure to the area adjacent to the patella will produce a medial bulge
|
|
|
How do you check for Drawer sign?
|
Pt supine, flex knee 90 degrees and hip 45 degrees with the foot on the table.
Apply slow, steady, anterior pull and then gently push tibia back |
|
|
What is a Drawer sign?
|
Tests for cruciate ligament stability
Abnormal anterior or posterior movement of the tibia on the femur is a + sign indicating ligamentous instability |
|
|
How do you do a collateral ligament test?
|
Apply medial or lateral pressure when the knee is flexed at 30 degrees and when it is extended.
Medial or lateral collateral ligament sprain will show laxity in movement and no solid end point depending on degree of sprain |
|
|
What is Lachman's test and how do you do it?
|
Tests for ACL damage
With knee flexed 30 degrees, pull the tibia forward with one hand while the other hand stabilizes the femur. + sign is mushy or soft end feel |
|
|
What does McMurray's manuever test for?
|
Meniscus injury
|
|
|
How do you perform McMurray's manuevers? (3 steps)
|
1) Pt supine. Maximally flex knee and hip. With one hand on distal end of tibia and other on the knee joint, rotate tibia internally and externally rotate tibia - Pain and palpable/audible click = meniscal injury
2) Extend knee with slight lateral pressure with tibia internally rotated - pain/click in this position indicates lateral meniscus injury 3) Repeat, but with medial pressure and tibia rotated - + findings indicate medial meniscus injury |
|
|

|
Hx - adolescent females
hx knee trauma or misalignment anterior knee pain worse when biking or climbing stairs PE - tenderness to palp over knee 4 view xrays to r/o arthritis, show irregularities of the joint |
|
|

|
|
