reverse curls target which muscle?
what is brachialis?
what movement does the latissimus dorsi do at the shoulder joint?
internal rotation
compression of the ulnar nerve often results in?
Guyon Canal Syndrome
what muscles are associated with golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis)
anterior forearm muscles: flexors/pronators
which artery do we use to measure pulse
radial
what is the concentric action of medial head of triceps?
forearm extension
these superficial forearm muscles attach proximally at the lateral epicondyle and insert onto the dorsal aspect of base of digits
extensors
what are the extensor-supinator muscles in the posterior forearm all innervated by?
deep branch of radial nerve
what is the drop arm test used for
RTC tears
-inability to maintain abduction and excessive superior translation
explain the RTC and deltoid combo
RTC= stabilizer
deltoid= mover
radio-ulnar joint
what 3 muscles have attachments at the coracoid process
1. coracobrachialis
2. short head of biceps brachii
3. pec minor
what nerve entrapment can cause pronator teres syndrome?
median nerve entrapment
this injury is associated with entrapment of the median nerve
carpal tunnel syndrome
which muscle has a tendon sheath under the carpal tunnel
AKA which muscle/tendon is the star of the show
FCR
what is the function of the dorsal and palmar interossei in the hand?
provide fine motor control of the fingers
this muscle inserts on the posterior surface of the olecranon process
medial head of triceps
entrapment of this nerve cause cause Posterior Interosseous Nerve or PIN syndrome
radial nerve
typical mechanism of injury is a fall on the elbow combined with sudden powerful contraction of triceps brachii
olecranon fracture
biceps brachii also assist in what forearm movement?
supination
which deltoid provides extension and ER of the humerus
posterior deltoid
what is the action of the muscle that inserts at the lateral side of the 1st metacarpal
oppose thumb
the spinal accessory nerve provides innervation for?
upper and lower traps
you are treating a patient who exhibits severely diminished upward rotation of their scapula when attempting to reach overhead. if due to a nerve lesion, which is most likely involved?
long thoracic nerve, spinal accessory nerve
what is the proximal boundary of the anatomical snuffbox?
