Osteopathic versus orthopedic probelm | Somatic dysfunction is likely to be found in the minor motions (joint glide) that involves restriction at the end ROM. Orthopedic problems are due to joint instability evident by laxity/instability at end ROM |
Ulnohumeral Joint | Major motions: Flexion and Extension **Minor Involuntary motions: Abd (with extension) and Add (with flexion) |
Pain or Restriction with elbow flexion | SD is ulnar abduction Restriction is ulnar adduction **May see and Increased carrying angle |
Pain or Restriction with elbow extension | SD is ulnar adduction Restriction is unlar abduction **may see decreased carrying angle |
Radial head motion | Glides posteriorly with pronation, anteriorly with supination |
Posterior Radial Head SD | often seen with falling forward onto outstretched hands. **Restriction will be supination/anterior radial head glide (pain with supination) |
Anterior Radial Head SD | Often results from a fall backward with hands supinated. **Restriction will be pronation/posterior radial head glide (pain with pronation) |
Radial Head tenderpoints are often confused with? | Lateral Epicondylitis (degeneration of the tendon of an extensor) |
True wrist joint | Radiocarpal joint: Radius, scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum |
Radiocarpal major axes of motion | Transverse axis: Flex(80-90deg)/ext(70deg) Anterioposterior axis: add(30-50deg)/abd (20deg) **More flexion and adduction |
Minor involuntary motions of the wrist that cause most SD | Anterior carpal bone glide (extension) are the most common. Posterior carpal bone glide (flexion). **SD can be named for the major motions even though they are caused by the minor motion |
Counterstrain tenderpoints from wrist SD | found in tendons or muscle bellys. If found in flexor compartment (anterior/palmar) treat with wrist flexed. Opposite for posterior/dorsal points |
Anatomical snuff box tenderness | suspect scaphoid fracture and necrosis |
Main SD in Carpometacarpal joints | Dorsal glide **Restriction in ventral glide |
What type of joint is the thumb | Saddle joint. Allows movement in almost any plane making it more susceptable for sprains than SD |
MP and IP Joint glides | SD can be in: AP glide, ML glide, Int/Ext glide |
Viscerosomatic reflexes related to arm pain | 1. Diaphragm referred pain in trapezius 2. MI referred pain to left axilla and arm 3. Gall Bladder pain to right AC and Scapula |
