What causes active insufficiency of the wrist?
fist in full wrist flexion
-flexors are actively insufficient
-extensors are passively insufficient
What motions have greatest ROM in the wrist?
Ulnar deviation: 30 degrees (as opposed to only 15 degrees of radial deviation)

Flexion: 65 degrees (as opposed to 55 degrees of extension)

*due to ulnar and palmar tilts in wrist
Extrinsic Ligaments of the wrist
Dorsal Radiocarpal ligament: taut during flexion

Radial Collateral ligament: taut during ulnar deviation

Palmar Radiocarpal ligament: taut during extension

Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC): taut during radial deviation
What nerve is compressed during carpal tunnel syndrome?
median nerve
What is the central column theory?
arthrokinematics of the wrist based on the central column theory

3rd metacarpal, capitate, lunate, radius
What are the arthrokinematics of the radiocarpal & midcarpal joints?
radiocarpal extension: convex on concave
*lunate rolls dorsally, slides palmarly

midcarpal extension: convex on concave
*capitate rolls dorsally, slides palmarly
Which direction do you mobilize a joint to increase ROM?
mobilize distal bone in direction of the glide

ie: pt lacks wrist extension: mobilize lunate palmarly w/radius stabilized
What are the arthrokinematics of ulnar and radial deviation?
convex on concave
roll towards direction of deviation

*motion of distal row dictates motion of proximal row
Innervation of wrist muscles
Radial nerve: ECRL, ECRB, ECU

Median nerve: FCR and Palmaris longus

Ulnar nerve: FCU
Agonists & Synergists of wrist extension
Agonists:
ECRB, ECRL & ECU

Synergists: Ext Dig Comm, Ext Dig Min, Ext Pol Long

(finger extensors are synergists)
Agonists & Synergists of wrist flexion
Agonists:
FCR & FCU

Synergists:
FDP, FDS, Flex Pol Long

(finger flexors are synergists)
Arches of the hand
2 transverse arches: at CMC and MCP joints
1 longitudinal arch: formed by shape of metacarpal bones
Motions of the thumb in the frontal plane
Flexion: towards midline

Extension: away from midline
Motions of the thumb in the sagittal plan
Adduction: towards palm

Abduction: away from palm
Which digits are most important in grip?
1st, 4th & 5th
allow hand to change shape
1st digit rotated 90 degrees to help grasp
CMC arthrokinematics of 1st digit
saddle joint: allows for opposition of the thumb
*much more mobile than other CMC joints

Convex on concave in sagittal plan

Concave on convex in frontal plane
CMC arthrokinematics of digits 2-5
flexion/extension only

limited motion due to strong ligaments
MCP arthrokinematics of 1st digit
flexion/extension only since most motion comes from CMC
****flexion/extension happens in frontal plane since MCP is rotated 90 degrees
*concave on convex

ie: flexion: roll/slide ulnarly
MCP arthrokinematics of digits 2-5
2 DOF- flex/ext & ab/adduction

Concave on convex in frontal plane

Concave on convex in sagittal plane
Extrinsic flexors of the digits
FDP- flexes PIP & DIP joints (only one that flexes DIPs)

FDS- flexes PIP joints

FPL- flexes IP joint of 1st digit
Action of lumbricles
Flex MCP
Extend PIP & DIP
"wave bye"
Action of Interosseous muscles
PADs adduct
and DABs abduct

flex MCP
Extend IP
What muscles are needed to fully extend digits?
EDC w/PADs, DABs & lumbricles
Bowstringing of flexors
when tunnel that flexor tendon runs through breaks, tendon bowstrings
=
decreased ROM at PIP joint but larger internal moment arm (greater mechanical advantage
What is Osteoligamentus support?
when a person doesn't use muscles to support body weight-relies on bones and ligaments to maintain posture
3 articulations of vertebrae
Intervertebral joint (w/disk btw sup and inf vertebrae)

Superior facets (w/inf facets of superior vertabrae)

Inferior facets (w/sup facets on inf vertebrae)
4 stages of disk herniation
Protrusion: slight bulge of nucleus pulposus

Prolapse: nucleus almost breaks through annulus

Extrusion: annular fibers distrupted

Sequestration: free nuclear material outside of disk
Nerve root compression secondary to disk problem
can occur with prolapse, extrusion or sequestration

*initially loss of sensation
**after 6 weeks, muscle weakness
***spacticity if spinal cord is compressed
What are the transverse and alar ligaments?
ligaments of the axis
-stabilize dens
transverse=wraps around posterior part of dens
alar=connect dens to skull
Motion of cervical spine:
Rotation: 90 (45 from upper, 45 from lower)

Flexion: 50 (15 from upper, 35 from lower)

Extension: 85 (15 from upper, 70 from lower)

Lateral Flexion: 40 (5 from upper, 35 from lower)
Facets of lower C spine
facets at 45 degrees, allows for rotation
Motion of thoracic spine
Flexion: 40
Extension: 25
Rotation: 30
Motion of lumbar spine
Flexion: 50
Extension: 15
Rotation: 5
Lateral Flexion: 20
Lumbopelvic rhythm
analogous to scapulohumeral rhythm
=ratio of relative motion from lumbar spine and hips during sagittal motions

normal is equal flexion from lumbar spine and hips
Nutation/counternutation
nutation: flexion of Si joint
*top of sacrum moves anterior and inferior

counternutation: extension of SI joint
*top of sacrum moves posterior and inferior
Anterior pelvic tilt
"sway back"
hyperextension of lumbar spine
Posterior pelvic tilt
"tucked under"
flexion of lumbar spine
