lateral recumbent is named based on? |
based on the side that your laying on (left lateral means to lay on your left side) |
|
|

T4 |
|
|
inferior angle of scapula is at what vertebral level? |
T7 |
|
|
suprasternal notch is at what vertebral level? |
T2 |
|
|
angle of louis is at what vertebral level? |
T4 |
|

|
|
how to feel for the supraorbital ridge and notch? |
-slide your thumb along the upper bone of the orbit (eye socket) - carefully palpate along the medial aspect of the supraorbital ridge for the notch or formaen |
|
|
where is the supraorbital groove? what about the frontal eminences? |
-directly superior to the supraorbital ridge is the surpraoribital groove
-continue along that same superior direction and you will find the frontal eminences on either side of the forehead |
|
|
where are the parietal eminences? |
moving around the head, posteriorly, you can find the parietal eminences |
|
|
angle of mandible found? |
edge of jaw sort of |
|
|
mastoid process? |
the bony prominence behind each ear |
|
|
where is the external occipital protuberance (inion)? |
the bony prominence on the back of your head, before the occiput begins to drop off into the neck |
|
|
landmarks in the head? |
-supraorbital ridge/notch -supraorbital groove -frontal eminences -parietal eminences -angels of mandible -mastoid processes -external occipital protuberance (inion) |
|
|
the lowest (most caudal) spinous process that moves when pt forward and backward bends there neck is ___? __ doesn't move because? |
-is C7
-T1 doesn't move because it is attached to a rib |
|
|
visual inspection of the medial (vertebral) border of the scapula will be made easier by having the patient do what? |
-place their hand in the small of their back, this causes the medial border of the scapula to rise off the thoracic cage |
|
|
the sternal notch? |
this is the depression between the 2 sternoclavicular joints |
|
|
sternal angle (of louis) |
find the sternal notch, then move inferiorly until you feel a change in the grade of the flat bone |
|
|
landmarks in the thorax? |
-spinous process of C7 (vertebra prominens) -medial (vertebral) and inferior angle of scapula -clavicle -sternum (sternal notch, sternal angle, and xiphoid process) |
|
|
where to find the iliac crests? |
-place your hand at the pts waist and find the bone
-the crests are at approximate ht of the interspace b/w L4 and L5 |
|
|
how to find the ASIS? |
-patient should be supine -following the crests around anterior-medially and feel for the first drop off |
|
|
how to find the pubic symphysis? |
place the heel of your hand at the pts navel, fingers pointing superior
-slowly and softly palpate inferiorly until you feel the bony prominence of the pubic bones |
|
|
how to find the PSIS? |
-patient should be prone -follow the iliac crests around posterio-medially and feel for the drop off |
|
|
how to find the sacral base? |
allow your thumbs to roll off the PSIS medially and come in contact with the sacral base |
|
|
how to find the inferior lateral angels (ILA)? |
place your index fingers where you found the sacral base and walk your thumbs down the sacrum just lateral to midline until they fall off
-the coccyx is at the end of the sacrum in the midline |
|
|
landmarks on the pelvis? |
-iliac crests -pubic symphysis -ASIS -PSIS -sacral base -ILA (inferior lateral angles of sacrum) |
|
|
how to find the greater trochanters? |
-place your hand on the lateral and proximal aspect of the femur, feel for the bony prominence
-ask the pt to internally and externally rotate the femur, so you can feel it move |
|
|
how to find the medial and lateral epicondyles of the femur? |
-on either side of the knee
-be sure you are on the distal end of the femur and not the proximal end of the tibia |
|
|
how to find the tibial tuberosity? |
it is the bony prominence distal to the patella |
|
|
how to find the fibular head? |
-it is lateral to the tibial tuberosity |
|
|
how to find the medial and lateral malleoli? |
-they are the bony prominences of the ankle -medial is the distal end of the tibial -lateral is the distal end of the fibula |
|
|
how to find the talus? |
-have the pt remove their socks, and follow the tibia interiorly to palpate the tibia |
|
|
landmarks on extremities? |
-greater trochanters -lateral and medial epicondyles of femur -patella -tibial tuberosity -head of fibula -lateral and medial malleoli -talus -calcaneus -olecranon process |
