Upper Limb Test: Finger, Hand, & Wrist

Name

Which of the following is an evaluation criterion for a PA finger projection?

• Entire finger and minimum 1/3 of MCP joint demonstrated
• Only distal phalanx demonstrated
• Carpals must be visible
• Metatarsals must be included

For a PA Scaphoid Stretcher method, how should the hand and wrist be positioned?

• PA with the hand parallel to the IR
• PA with the hand elevated 20 degrees
• PA with the hand perpendicular to the IR
• AP with the hand parallel to the IR

What degree of obliquity is required for a PA Oblique finger projection?

• 30 degrees
• 60 degrees
• 45 degrees
• 15 degrees

The lateral finger projection requires the digit to be:

• Perpendicular to the IR
• Parallel to the IR
• Flexed at 90 degrees
• Overlapped with the adjacent digit

An evaluation criterion for a PA Oblique thumb projection is:

• Entire thumb demonstrated with joints partially open
• Only the distal phalanx should be visible
• No rotation from PA position
• Thumb should be in a flexed position

The Modified Robert’s Method of the thumb requires the CR to be angled:

• 10 degrees proximally
• 15 degrees proximally
• 30 degrees distally
• 45 degrees medially

PA Axial Scaphoid Ulnar Deviation is used to

• See the scaphoid free of superimposition and foreshortening
• See the hamate free of superimposition and foreshortening
• See the capitate free of superimposition and foreshortening
• See the pisiform free of superimposition and foreshortening

PA Axial Scaphoid Ulnar Deviation causes the tube to be angled

• 10-15 degree towards the fingers
• 10-15 degree towards the elbow
• 15-20 degree towards the fingers
• 15-20 degree towards the elbow

The PA stress (Folio Method) projection of the thumb is used to evaluate:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Ulnar collateral ligament injury
• Fractures of the distal phalanx
• Scaphoid fractures
