|
antecubital fossa |
Triangular cavity at elbow -biceps tendon -median nerve -brachial artery |
|
|
biceps action |
-flex shoulder -flex elbow -supination of forearm |
|
|
brachioradialis -nerve -nerve root -where to strike for reflex -reflex response |
-radial nerve -C5/C6 (reflex mostly tests C6) -strike radius 1-2 inches superior to wrist -elbow flex & forearm supination |
|
|
antecubital fossa contains |
-biceps tendon -median nerve -brachial artery |
|
|
biceps brachii inserts |
-radial tuberosity |
|
|
colles fx |
fx of distal end of radius |
|
|
ext carpi radialis brevis -O -I -Action |
-O: common ext tendon from lateral epicondyle to humerus, radial collateral lig of elbow, deep antebrachial fascia -I: dorsal surface of base of 3rd metacarpal -A: ext & abd wrist |
|
|
biceps brachii damage -signs |
-overuse injury -not usually from FOOSH -not likely to lead to excessive carrying angle |
|
|
annular lig |
-wraps around head of radius -secures radius to ulna -lateral on elbow |
|
|
ulnar collateral lig. damage -signs |
(medial lig at elbow) -edema on medial elbow -excessive carrying angle |
|
|
radial collateral lig |
-restricts varus force in the elbow -located laterally |
|
|
carrying angle of elbow |
-describes the angle formed in the frontal plane btwn the humerus & ulna -normal: (5-10 degree male) (10-15 degree female) -cubital valgus: angle is greater than normal |
|
|
supinator |
-only action is supination -bicep also supinates -to eliminate bicep influence flex the elbow & shoulder to place bicep in a shortened position) -when bicep shortened it's unable to produce same amt of force & can't compensate for weak supinator |
|
|
characteristic pattern of contracture deformity at elbow |
-flexion & PRONATION -need to position splint in ext & supination |
|
|
biceps tendon rupture -most anticipated finding with resistance testing? |
-weak & pain free |
|
|
-pain at C6, can't extend C spine -position for positional release to open affected foramen? |
-forward flexed -contralateral sidebend -contralateral rot (this position allows contraction of post fibers of upper trap |
|
|
olecranon bursitis -sign |
-post elbow swelling |
|
|
-ulnar collateral lig damage -signs |
-tenderness over lateral condyle |
|
|
pt diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis has no resolution of sx's after 2 weeks of tx, L biceps reflex is 1+ -next step? |
-complete exam of mid cervical region -diminished reflex is a possible C5 nn root compression in mid cervical spine -reflex change indicates nn root irritation or compression -lateral epicondylitis frequwntly involves ext carpi radialis (which is innervated by nerves in the mid cervical region) |
|
|
biceps tendon -how to test reflex |
-reflex C5-C6 place thumb on tendon & tap |
|
|
radial tuberosity |
-distal to neck of radius -biceps brachii inserts on it |
