Wrist extensors are on the posterior side of the forearm?
True
False

(a)

phalanges
DIP joint

Which general ROM test do the following steps belong to?
Instruct athlete to flex both wrists as far as possible. Compare ROM between the uninvolved and involved side. Movement should be smooth and painless. Limited ROM on one side indicates a potential injury on that side.
wrist flexion
finger flexion
wrist extension
finger extension
Which manual muscle test do the following steps belong to?
Place one finger on the palmar aspect of the athlete’s finger to be tests and have the athlete flex the finger as you provide isometric resistance. Compare the strength between the involved and uninvolved side. Weakness on one side indicates a potential injury to the muscles of the finger on that side or possible fracture. If there is any question about a fracture, refer to a physician for further evaluation.
finger flexion strength
finger extension strength
wrist flexion strength
wrist extension strength
Which manual muscle test would you perform is expected an injury to the extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, and/or extensor carpi ulnaris?
wrist flexion strength
wrist extension strength
Wrist Ulnar Deviation Strength
Wrist Radial Deviation Strength
Which general ROM test should you perform if you believe an athlete hurt their wrist by hyperextending it?
wrist extension
wrist flexion
finger flexion
finger extension
You find weakness in the flexor carpi ulnaris and the extensor carpi ulnaris. Which manual muscle test did you perform?
Wrist Ulnar Deviation Strength Test
Wrist Radialis Deviation Strength Test
Wrist Flexion Strength Test
Wrist Extension Strength Test
Which manual muscle test do the following step belong to?
Place one finger on the lateral aspect of the athlete’s finger to be tested. Place another finger on the medial aspect of one of the athlete’s adjacent fingers. Instruct the athlete to abduct the fingers as you provide isometric resistance. Compare the strength between the involved and uninvolved side. Weakness on one side indicates a potential injury to the muscles of the finger on that side or possible fracture. If there is any question about a fracture, refer to a physician for further evaluation.
finger abduction strength
finger adduction strength
finger flexion strength
finger extension strength
Describe boutonniere deformity.
an abnormal contracture of a phalange in which the proximal joint flexes and the distal joint hyperextends. This is caused by a rupture of the tendon in the middle phalange of a finger.
damage to the extensor tendon at the distal interphalangeal joint of the finger resulting in an inability to extend the finger at that joint.
a fluid filled sac in the synovial membrane that is located next to the joint capsule or tendon sheath. This usually appears on the back of the wrist and creates a knot/bump underneath the skin.
median nerve becomes compressed as the wrist
Which injury is best described as "the median nerve becomes compressed as the wrist. Signs/symptoms of this impingement include point tenderness, pain with and without motion, numbness and possible loss of strength. "
all impingements
carpal tunnel syndrome
ganglion cyst
tendonitis
Wrist sprains are usually caused by what?
hyperflexion
hyperextension
direct blow
pulling motion
Gamekeeper's thumb is _________________________?
a sprain to the thumb specific to the ulnar collateral ligament, or the medial ligament of the thumb
where the median nerve becomes compressed as the wrist
damage to the extensor tendon at the distal interphalangeal joint of the finger
n abnormal contracture of a phalange in which the proximal joint flexes and the distal joint hyperextends
Which injury is best described as the compression of the median nerve causing pain, numbness, and loss of strength?
carpal tunnel
ganglion cyst
tendonitis
fracture
What test do the following steps belong to?
Instruct athlete to place the backs of hands together near the middle of the chest.
The shoulders, elbows and wrists should be flexed to 90 degrees. Have them
hold for 60 seconds.
Tingling and/or numbness in the fingers suggest nerve impingements on that side.
phalen's test
percussion test
drop arm test
valgus test
What test is used to test for tendonitis in the thumb?
finklestein's test
phalen's test
percussion test
hawkins-kennedy test
Mallet finger
damage to the extensor tendon at the distal interphalangeal joint of the finger resulting in an inability to extend the finger at that joint
an abnormal contracture of a phalange in which the proximal joint flexes and the distal joint hyperextends
breaking of the carpal bones resulting in dislocation
where the median nerve becomes compressed as the wrist
Ganglion cyst
a fluid filled sac in the synovial membrane that is located next to the joint capsule or tendon sheath. This usually appears on the back of the wrist and creates a knot/bump underneath the skin.
inflammation of a bursa or tendon
pus filled sac caused by infection after a cut
a sprain to the thumb specific to the ulnar collateral ligament, or the medial ligament of the thumb
