What is an average of 45o from the horizontal (or frontal) plane?
Normal PROM for extension at the AO joint.
What is 0-10o?
The convex partner at the 1st CMC for frontal plane motion
What is the trapezium?
The thumb motions involved in opposition.
What are abduction, flexion, and internal rotation?
The plane of motion that is most limited by the orientation of the lumbar facets.
What is the horizontal plane?
The axis of rotation for flexion/extension in a cervical spine motion segment.
What is the intervertebral disc?
What is ipsilateral sidebending and rotation?
The position that stretches the collateral ligaments of the MCP joint the most.
What is end-range flexion?
The nerve injury that results in "drop wrist."
What is a radial nerve injury?
The spinal ligament that has more elastin content than most ligaments.
What is the ligamentum flavum?
Upper cervical motion associated with retraction of the head.
What is capital flexion?
The effect of extension on the intervertebral disc (i.e. where it's compressed and where it migrates).
What is posterior compression and anterior migration?
The MCP and PIP positions that typically occur with an ulnar nerve injury.
What is MCP hyperextension and PIP flexion? (Claw Hand)
The mobilizing glide that would best help to restore 1st CMC flexion.
What is an ulnar glide of the 1st metacarpal?
The ligament in the upper cervical spine that gets taut with right rotation.
What is the left alar ligament?
Muscle group activated with capital extension in supine.
What is eccentric activation of the deep neck flexors? (RCA/RCL, Longus capitis/colli).
The main function of the suboccipital muscle group.
What is control and stabilization of the AO and AA joints?
The motion of the dorsal hood during finger extension.
What is proximal motion?
The main contributor to the passive internal rotation of the thumb during opposition.
What is the groove in the trapezium?
The spinal ligament that limits sidebending the most.
What is the intertransverse ligament?
Cervical disc characteristic that allows for coupling motions.
What is the uncovertebral cleft?
The glide that would best help restore limited left rotation at C3-4.
Anterosuperior glide of R C3 inferior facet
The name of the position the hand will assume if the interossei and/or lumbrical muscles are dysfunctional.
What is the intrinsic minus position? (or extrinsic plus position)
The position of the line of pull of the lumbricals in relation to the MCP and PIP joints.
What is palmar to the MCP and dorsal to the PIP?
The joint classification of the vertebral interbody joint (disc).
What is a symphysis?
The artrhokinematic motion(s) involved with right rotation at the AA joint.
What is anterior glide of the L C1 facet and posterior glide of the R C1 facet, both with superior then inferior translation?
The effect of forward head posture on intervertebral joint JRF and extensor muscle force.
What is increased JRF and increased extensor muscle force?
Synergistic muscle actions required for power gripping.
What are the flexors (for gripping) and the extensors (for limiting wrist flexion)?
Muscle action required for an effective tip to tip pinch.
What is the flexor digitorum profundus muscle?
The directional load that the intervertebral discs are best designed to absorb.
Synergistic muscle action required to keep level gaze when rotating the head to the right.
What is activation of the left rectus capitis lateralis and left obliquus capitis superior?
The deep posterior stabilizing muscles in the lower cervical spine.
What are the multifidi, rotatores, intertransversarii, and interspinales muscles?
The name of the phenomenon where we can use active wrist extension to induce passive finger flexion for gripping.
What is tenodesis?
The initial tissue disruption that results in Swan Neck Deformity
What is stretching or rupture of the volar (palmar) plate?
The directional load that will best stimulate new collagen growth in the annulus fibrosus.
What is horizontal plane rotation?
A strong force couple that produces contralateral cervical rotation.
What are the SCM and upper trapezius?
Muscle you might stretch to help resolve symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome.
What are the scalenes or pectoralis minor?
