CARPAL TUNNEL
what runs in the carpal tunnel?
- 4 tendons of flexor digitorum superficial
- 4 tendons of flexor digitorum profundus
- 1 tendon of flexor pollicis longus
- median nerve
1&2- median
3-5- ulnar
abduction of digits 2-5 describe the action of
dorsal interossei
what movement is allows at metacarpophalangeal joints of digits 2-5
flexion, extension, adduction and abduction
what is the illiopsoas made up of
Psoas major, psoas minor, iliacus
how can carpal tunnel syndrome happen?
weight gain, late stages of pregnancy
what nerves supplies the muscle that adducts digits 2-5
deep branch of ulnar nerve
which hamstring muscle inserts on the fibula
short head of biceps femoris
on or near the greater trochanter of the femur
what does the trochlea of the humerus articulate with
the trochlear notch of the ulna
what are the tests for carpal tunnel syndrome
Phalens test- dorsal sides of hands together
tinel sign- reflex hammer, tap flexor retinaculum
what nerve is damaged if there is numbness and tingling over the lateral dorsumm of the hand
radial
where is the greater sciatic notch
on the illium of the pelvis
where is the lesser sciatic notch found
ischium
what muscles does hip flexion, hip abduction, hip lateral rotation and knee flexion
sartorius
what muscles would be lost in carpal tunnel syndrome
muscles of the thenar eminance- abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis, opponens pollicis
lumbricals 1&2
what nerve could be damaged in trendelenburg gait
superior gluteal nerve
what is the significance of annular pullies
allows tendons to glide and prevent bowstringing of flexor tendons
if the ischial tiberosity was inured what muscles would be affected
hamstrings because they orginate there
what muscles are tight in cases of posterior pelvis tilt
hip extensors and abdominals
what branch of the median nerve is still intact in carpal tunnel syndrome
anterior interesses branch
what nerves are the hamstring innervated by
common fibular- short head of biceps femoris
tibial branch of sciatic nerve- long head of biceps femoris, semitenondosus, semimembranosus
what muscles work to keep the pelvis stable/straight during gait
gluteus medius, gluteus minimus
what muscle of the medial thigh crosses the hip and knee
gracilis
what is acromioplasty
Where calcium deposits, bone spurs (osteophytes) and other irregularities are removed from the undersurface of the acromion
