Name 3 muscles which help with scapular upward or downward rotation

Upper trap, lower trap, levator scapula, serratus anterior, rhomboids, pec minor

Upward- traps & SA 

Downward- levator, rhomboids, & pec minor

100

In order for the elbow to pronate and supinate, two main joints are involved. Name the 2 joints, and the bony concave articulation that "spins" at the elbow joint to allow this to happen. 

Distal and proximal radioulnar joints; Radial head

100

Name and demonstrate all osteokinematic movements of the MCP joint of the thumb

Flex-ext, abd-adduction, opposition

100

During wrist flexion and extension, which is the concave and convex structures when discussing arthrokinematics?

Concave- radius

Convex- carpals (proximal row)

100
Name both muscle groups that attach on the medial and lateral epicondyles of the humerus. 

Lateral - wrist extensors

Medial - wrist flexors 

200

This muscle group provides stabilization of the shoulder during overhead movements. Name all of the muscles in this group and the main osteokinematic action for each muscle.

Hint: SITS

Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis

Supra- abduction; Infra- ER; Teres - ER

Subscap- IR, adduction

200

Name the 4 joints which allow for the shoulder joint to move freely, and which is NOT a true joint?

Scapulothoracic joint (not true joint), sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular, glenohumeral

200

The anatomical snuffbox is formed by the scaphoid bone as the base, and 2 muscles of the thumb outline the medial and lateral borders. Name these muscles

Extensor pollicis longus, abductor pollicis longus

200

During radial and ulnar deviation, which bone forms the "axis" for arthrokinematics?

Capitate

200

The function of the flexor digitorum muscles differs based on their attachment points- name the 2 different muscles and where they insert to allow for their slight difference in functions in the hand.

Flexor digitorum superficialis attaches at the base of the middle phalanx, FDP attaches at the base of the distal phalanx

300

This triangular muscle assists with elbow extension, is innervated by the Radial nerve, and sits near the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. 

Anconeus

300

When the elbow creates an angle GREATER than 15 degrees due to a more lateral distal radioulnar joint, this is called: 

cubitus valgus

300

Name 2 muscles of the thumb that live on the dorsal aspect of the hand.

EPL & EPB
300

Given what you know about the concave-convex rule, as well as anatomy, if the carpal bones roll ulnarly, then slide occurs in which direction?

Radially

300

Name 1 muscle which attaches to the Greater tubercle, and one which attaches to the Lesser tubercle

Greater - supra, infra, teres minor

Lesser- subscap

400

This muscle is not present in all of the population-  what is it and how can you tell if an individual has this muscle?

Palmaris longus, make a fist and perform some slight wrist flexion

400

Name all 4 joints distal of the radiocarpal joint (not including the thumb) 

Hint: Do not include the midcarpal and intercarpal joints. 

CMC (carpometacarpal)

MCP (metacarpal-phalangeal)

PIP (promximal interphalangeal)

DIP (distal interphalangeal)

400

Most muscles of the thenar eminence run through the carpal tunnel. Therefore, most muscles of the thenar eminence are innervated by what nerve?

Median

400

During elbow flexion, the humeroulnar and humeroradial joints move in the same way with arthrokinematics. Describe the arthrokinematic movement for these joints during flexion

Anterior roll, anterior slide

400

Two muscles discussed in class that perform scapular retraction are also two muscles that have attachments (origins) on the ribs. What are these muscles and what are their other attachments? (insertions)

SA- anterior surface of medial border of scapula

Pec minor- coracoid process

500

There are 3 main muscles in the forearm that perform pronation and supination- what are they and what innervates them?

Pronator teres, pronator quadratus (median n.) 

Supinator (radial n.)

500

When striking a nail with a hammer, what motion is being performed? Name 1 agonist and 1 antagonist muscle for this action. 

Ulnar deviation- FCU & FCR

500

Ulnar and radial collateral ligaments live on the lateral and medial aspects of the elbow respectively. The thumb also has these ligaments. In a gamekeeper's (or Skier's) thumb injury, which ligament is impacted and at which joint?

Ulnar collateral ligament, 1st MCP

500

During glenohumeral external rotation, describe the arthrokinematic movement occurring, as well as the concave and convex anatomy, and what plane/axis the joint is moving in/about during this motion. 

Convex humeral head moving on the concave glenoid. 

Posterior roll, ANTERIOR GLIDE

Transverse, longitudinal
