Neurodynamic Testing

25
Bursitis | Neurodynamic Testing
ULNT1
26
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome | Neurological Examination
Sensory testing of ulnar distribution of hand
27
Epicondylitis | ROM
- Lateral: pain with active wrist ext | - Medial: pn active wrist flexion
28
Sublux/Dislocation | ROM
- Radial Head: pronation/supination, extension limited | - Posterior: flexion/extension
29
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome | ROM
-elbow flexion may replicate symptoms
30
Pronator Teres Syndrome | ROM
-may lack supination ROM if pronator tight
31
Radial Tunnel Synrome | ROM
-Not limited
32
Posterior Interosseous Syndrome | ROM
-decreased active thumb/finger extension at MCP
33
Bursitis | ROM
-limited elbow flexion/extension
34
Epicondylitis | Special Tests
- Lateral: resisted wrist extension; resisted 3rd digit extension; Mill's - Medial: medial epicondylitis test (golfer's elbow test)
35
Sublux/Dislocation | Special Tests
Fx: Elbow Extension Test Elbow Flexion test
36
Pronator Teres Syndrome | Special Tests
Phalen's (-)
37
Radial Tunnel syndrome | Special Tests
Resisted 3rd digit extension reproduces pain
38
Posterior Interosseous Syndrome | Special Tests
-Symptoms with resisted wrist extension
39
Epicondylitis | Palpation
- palp over medlat epicondyle | - Medial: tender FCR and Pron teres
40
Sublux/Dislocation | Palpation
- radial head | - olecranon
41
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome | Palpation
-Ulnar nerve at medial epicondyle
42
Pronator Teres Syndrome | Palpation
symptom reproduction with pressure over pronator teres muscle
43
Radial Tunnel Syndrome | Palpation
- lateral epicondyle | - radial head
44
Posterior Interosseous Syndrome | Palpation
-distal from lateral epicondyle
45
Bursitis | Palpation
tender at bursa
46
Epicondylitis | Muscle Length/Strength
- Lateral: wrist extensors stiff/short | - Medial: wrist and finger flexor stiff/short
47
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome | Muscle Length/Strength
- Atrophy of adductor pollicis | - short/stiff FCU
48
Pronator teres Syndrome | Muscle Length/Strength
-weakness of Mm of forearm and hand innervated by median nerve (FCR, FD)
49
Posterior Interosseous Syndrome | Muscle Length/Strength
-may have short supinator muscle
