Question | Answer |
---|---|
Scapula elevation | Palpate the upper trapezius, parallel to the cervical vertebrae |
Scapula abduction | Palpate the serratus anterior |
Scapula depression | Palpate the lower trapezius, distal to medial end of the spine of the scapula at the level of the inferior angle |
Scapula adduction | Palpate the middle trapezius, between the spine of the scapula and adjacent vertebrae |
Shoulder flexion | Palpate the anterior deltoid just below the clavicle on the anterior aspect of the humeral head |
Shoulder extension | Palpate the teres major along the axillary border of the scapula. Find the inferior angle, and go laterally from there. |
Shoulder abduction | Seated with arm relaxed, palpate the middle deltoid on the lateral side of the humerus |
Shoulder horizontal adduction | Palpate over the insertion of the pectoralis major at the anterior aspect of the axilla |
Shoulder horizontal abduction | Palpate the posterior deltoid below the spine of the scapula and distally toward the deltoid tuberosity on posterior aspect of the shoulder |
Shoulder external rotation | Find the spine of the scapula, go right below it and palpate the infraspinatus muscle |
Shoulder internal rotation | Palpate the teres major and the latissimus dorsi along the axillary border of the scapula, toward the inferior angle |
Elbow flexion | Palpate the biceps brachii on the middle of the anterior aspect of the humerus |
Elbow extension | Palpate the triceps over the middle of the posterior aspect of the humerus |
Forearm supination | Palpate over supinator muscle on the dorsal-lateral aspect of the forearm, below the head of the radius |
Forearm pronation | Palpate pronator teres on upper part of the volar surface of the forearm |
Wrist extension with radial deviation | Palpate the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis on the dorsal aspect of the wrist |
Wrist extension with ulnar deviation | Palpate extensor carpi ulnaris tendon at base of the 5th metacarpal |
Wrist flexion with radial deviation | Palpate flexor carpi radialis over the wrist at the base of the 2nd metacarpal bone |
Wrist flexion with ulnar deviation | Palpate the flexor tendons on the volar aspect of the wrist, the FCU at the base of the 5th metacarpal, the FCR at the base of the 2nd metacarpal, and the plamaris longus at the base of the 3rd metacarpal |
