This is the sequence of motions to test the median nerve.
What is scapular depression, GHJ abduction, elbow extension, supination, wrist extension, and digits 1-3 extension?
This is the primary issue with the lumbar spine regarding mobility/stability.
What is instability?
This is what you should fix first out of all the options for SIJ-related dysfunctions.
what is the capsular pattern of the hip
flexion and IR
What are the Ottawa ankle rules?
What are TTP over the navicular, TTP over the base of the 5th, TTP over the medial and lateral malleoli, and inability to WB for 4 steps
This nerve injury will cause minor sensory loss but does not have Wallerian degeneration.
What is neuropraxia?
There is rebound pain when palpating the lumbar spine; this is the structure I am suspecting is damaged.
What is multifidus?
This is normal lumbopelvic rhythm when doing a tuck jump.
What is hip flexes, pelvis posteriorly pelvic tilts, sacrum counternutates, and spine flexes?
Altman's criteria for the hip?`
IR <15°, flexion <115°, >50 years old
what does the dial test look at?
posterolateral corner and PCL
These are the contents of the interscalene triangle.
Nerve roots C5 – T1, subclavian artery
I am palpating a patient and I feel a divot at the level of the iliac crest; this is the segment that is most likely fractured.
What is L5?
This is the axis around which nutation and counternutation occur.
What is the middle transverse axis?
5 things FABER can be used for
adductors, anterior joint capsule, SIJ, FAI, labrum
What are the specials tests for the PCL (in order)?
quad active, posterior drawer, sag sign
These are the nerve roots affected by first rib elevation.
C8-T1
Is this a....Trick question?! Use a cluster :)
Pt has a positive Gaenslan's test with the R leg hanging off the table. These are the two possible options for innominate rotation.
What is R posterior rotation, L anterior rotation?
interpretation of the log roll test
pain with IR = OA
excessive ER = hypermobility
Shoe prescription for a supinatory foot type?
What is curved last, stitched slip, single density
Palpation of the pec minor reproduces the pt's symptoms; this is the other test you should perform.
What is Roos?
This is the specific positioning (lateral recumbent) that you should place someone in if they have a positive crossover SLR on the left.
Lay on the left with spine rotated to the R and pelvis rotated to the L.
This is the MET I should perform if a patient has a sacral rotation to the R that gets better with prone on elbows.
What is laying on the right, flex hips to 70-90 deg, R rotation of lumbar spine, push feet towards floor.
name the ligaments of the hip and what they resist
iliofemoral (Y) - extension and ER
pubofemoral - extension and abduction
ischiofemoral - extension and IR
Goals prior to ACL surgery?
full AROM and PROM into extension, knee flexion within 10° of unaffected side, trace to zero effusion, no extensor lag with SLR, and quad strength 80% of unaffected side
