CLINICAL DEMONSTRATION OF UPPER LIMB:

This article presents a systematic approach to diagnosing disorders of the shoulder joint, elbow Joint, wrist Joint, and surrounding structures. It is a systemically and clinical evaluation of anatomical demonstration of the upper limb just overview and will discuss further details in a coming article.





1. THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME:

When blood vessels & nerves between the collarbone & first rib compress and cause pain in the shoulder and numbness in the fingers called TOS.





2. ROTATOR CUFF TENDINITIS:

Inflammation of tendons of rotator cuff muscles caused by repetitive movements of the arms overhead.





3. BICIPITAL TENDINITIS:

Biceps tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of the upper biceps tendon—the strong, cord-like structure that connects the biceps muscle to the bones.





4. RADIAL TUNNEL SYNDROME:

Compression of the radial nerve caused pain in the arm and forearm to the wrist.





5. CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME:

Pressure on the ulnar nerve. Sometimes we called the ulnar nerve funny bone nerve.





6. CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME:

Pressure on the median nerve in your wrist caused numbness, tingling, and pain in your hand and fingers.





7. MEDIAL EPICONDYLITIS: 

Also called golfer's elbow, baseball elbow, and suitcase elbow.







8. LATERAL EPICONDYLITIS:

Also called tennis elbow in this inflammation of the lateral epicondyle due to repetitive use.




9. POSTERIOR/ANTERIOR INTEROSSEOUS SYNDROME:

Neuropathic compression of the posterior interosseous nerve, which innervates the extensor compartment of the forearm.




10. HYPOTHENAR HAMMER SYNDROME:

Condition of the hand in which blood flow to fingers is reduced.




11. DE QUERVAIN'S TENOSYNOVITIS:

Inflamed the tendon sheaths of the wrist.




12. FOCAL DYSTONIA SYNDROME:

An unusual neurological condition due to involuntary small muscle spasms.




13. DUPUYTREN's CONTRACTURE:

 Thickness/ Inflammation of tendon sheath.




CONCLUSION:

The clinical demonstration of the upper limb is very helpful for the differential diagnostic point of view not for understanding you should have a proper understanding of anatomical structure.

CERVICAL SPINE EXAMINATION. PART 1: BASIC STEPS

CERVICAL SPINE EXAMINATION. PART 1: BASIC STEPS Cervical spine examination is especially important in patients with neck pain, headache, arm pain, nerve dysfunction in the upper or lower extremities, or bowel and/or bladder dysfunction. Because all of these symptoms can result from conditions involving the cervical spine, cervical blood vessels, spinal cord, or nerve roots, it is important to ask questions regarding these types of symptoms when taking history. Care should be taken to exclude myelopathy (signs/symptoms of spinal cord compression). If the patient complains of radicular symptoms (pain, altered sensation, or muscle weakness of the nerve root distribution), an attempt should be made to determine which root is affected during examination and examination. Finally, always ask the appropriate questions (red flags) to rule out a tumor or infection (nocturnal pain, fever, chills, sweating, or unexplained weight loss). Basic musculoskeletal examination steps include Look - Feel -...

JOINT MOBILIZATION OF THE LUMBOPELVIC SPINE. PART 1

-
Image
  Lumbar-pelvic joint mobility technique. P resents a review of mobility techniques of lumbar joints and  techniques for sacroiliac mobility. LUMBAR SPINE JOINT MOBILIZATIONS Note:  Current evidence suggests that the indications for use of joint mobilization techniques are multifactorial and may be based on direct assessment of mobility and an individual's symptomatic response. Central And Unilateral Anterior Glides (PA Glide) Indications: To improve segmental mobility in all directions.  Central glides assist excels with sagittal plane motion forward and backward bending while unilateral glides enhance rotation and side bending. Accessory Motion Technique Patient Position:  Prone with a pillow supporting the lumbar spine.  Clinician Position & Hand Placement:  Stand to the side of the patient. As a general technique, stabilization is not required.  The region of the hand just distal to the pisiform contacts the spinous process for central gli...
