-Functional Position


-Slight extension


-Slight ulnar deviation


-Fingers slight flexion at all joints


-Thumb in midrange of opposition


Distal Radioulnar Joint

-Pivot joint


-Radius is concave moving on convex ulna for pronation and supination


-Articular disc and TFCC (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex)


-they are kinda the same thing


-Positive/negative ulnar variance


1. Distal Radioulnar Joint



rp,cpp,cp

-Resting position – 10o supination


-Close packed – 5o supination


-Capsule pattern – pain at the end ROM


Radiocarpal Joint

-Biaxial Ellipsoid


-Two concave facets on distal radius


-Scaphoid


-Lunate


-Articular disc – TFCC


-Attached to ulna


-Adds stability to distal RU joint as well as securing ulna to proximal and distal carpal rows


Radiocarpal Joint



rp,cpp,cp

Resting position – Neutral with slight ulnar variance


-CPP – Extension


-Capsular pattern – Flexion and extension equally limited

Intercarpal Joints



rp,cpp,cp


-Resting position – neutral or slight flexion


-CPP – Extension


-Capsular pattern – none


Midcarpal Joint



rp,cpp,cp

-Resting position – Neutral of slight flexion with ulnar deviation


-CPP – Extension with ulnar deviation


-Capsular pattern – Extension and flexion equally limited


1st and 5th CMC

First and fifth are sellar joints


-Fifth has less mobility than true sellar joint


2nd, 3rd, 4th CMC

-Planar synovial joints


-More stable


1st and 5th CMC



rp,cpp,cp

Resting position


-Thumb – midway between flex, ext, add, abd


-Flingers midway between flex and ext


-CPP


-Thumb – Full opp


-Fingers – Full flexion


-Capsular pattern


-Thumb – abd then ext


-Fingers – equal limitation in all directions


2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th Intermetacarpal joints



-2nd -5th metacarpals


-Planar joints


-Allow gliding motion


-With immobilization mobility is lost


MCP



rp,cpp,cp



Resting position – Slight flexion


-CPP


Thumb – Full opposition


Fingers – Full flexion


-Capsular pattern – Flexion, ext


IP



rp,cpp,cp

-Resting position – slight flexion


-CPP – Full ext


-Capsular pattern – Flexion, ext


NV Exam


Light Touch


1. Median N. – radial-volar tip of index


2. Ulnar N. – ulnar-volar tip of small finger


3. Radial N. – first dorsal interspace


-Motor


1. Median N. – move thumb palmarly from frontal plane


2. Ulnar N. – finger adduction and abduction


3. Radial N. – move thumb into extension


Is RA an inflammation of the cartilage?

no,


-Really an inflammatory synovitis rather than arthritis


-Other involved systems include: CV, pulmonary, and GI


-Age and gender are the two primary risk factors


Peak onset in 3-4th decade of life


-Women affected 2-3 more times than men


Diagnostic Criteria for RA


-Four or more of the following:


-At least 1 hr of morning stiffness present for at least 6 weeks


-Inflammatory arthritic manifestations in 3 or more joints for at least 6 weeks


-Swelling of wrist, MCP, or PIP joints for 6 or more weeks


-Symmetric joint swelling


-Radiographic evidence of changes in hand or wrist joints that must include erosions or unequivocal bony decalcification


Monocylic

you may have an extended flare of symptoms lasting an average of two to five years, after which point symptoms abate and do not recur


. Polycyclic

pain and inflammation fluctuates over the course of your life


Progressive:

pain, swelling and limited function increases with time and does not recede


What are the prodromal s/s that precede joint symptoms?

-Fatigue


-Weakness


-Weight loss


-Numbness and tingling


3 clinical phases of RA?

Inflammatory synovitis of joint and tendon mechanism leading to pain, swelling, and ↑ temperature


2) Joint deformity with subluxation &/or dislocation, & intrinsic fibrosis


3) Final Remission – The degree of deformity and functional limitation varies from person to person

When is DIP joint involved?

-DIP joints not usually involved like in OA


Progressive disease of MCPs lead to?

to volar subluxation & ulnar deviation of phalanges


ulnar drift results in?

has the resultant effect of pulling the fingers into ulnar deviation, pronation, and palmar subluxation


ligaments and tendon effected by ulnar drift?

Deformity of ulnar drift & palmar subluxation are the result of complex interactions that cause damage to the collateral ligaments & extensor tendons


RA subcutaneous nodules?

Appear in about 20% and indicate a severe form of the disease


-Usually in the subcutaneous tissue and located over bony prominences
