  1. Part 2 Wrist Evaluation

  2. Overview • Observation • Examination • AROM/PROM • Special tests • Neurological exam • Circulatory exam

  3. Observation • Overall position of person • Are they using the involved limb? • Is the wrist or hand in an abnormal position? • Is the limb hanging limp? • Swelling • Skin color • Signs of trauma • Skin temperature

  4. Observation • Deformities • Atrophy • Abnormalities • Compare • Carrying angle • Muscle spasm

  5. Palpation • Navicular /scaphoid • Lunate • Triquetrium • Pisiform • Trapezium • Trapezoid • Capitate • Hamate

  6. Palpation • Lister’s tubercle • Metacarpals • Phalanges • Thenar eminence (base of thumb, palmar aspect) • Hypothenar eminence (little finger side, palmar aspect)

  7. Palpation • Radius • Ulna • Radial styloid process • Ulnar styloid process • Metacarpo-phalangeal (MP) joints • Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) joints • Distal Interphalangeal (DIP) joints

  8. Palpation • Anatomical snuff box • Tunnel of Guyon • Carpal tunnel

  9. Palpation: Soft Tissue • Median nerve • Ulnar nerve • Radial nerve • Transverse carpal ligament • Ulnar collateral ligament • Radial collateral ligament • Ulnar artery • Biceps brachii • Brachioradialis • Pronatorteres • Pronatorquadratus

  10. Palpation: Soft Tissue • Supinator • Extensor carpi radialis longus • Extensor carpi radialis brevis • Extensor carpi ulnaris • Extensor digitorum • Extensor pollicis longus • Extensor pollicis brevis

  11. Palpation: Soft Tissue • Flexor carpiradialis • Flexor carpiulnaris • Flexor digitorumprofundus • Flexor digitorumsuperficialis • Flexor pollicuslongus • Flexor pollicisbrevis • Abductor pollicusbrevis • Adductor pollicus • Abductor digitiminimi • Palmarinterossei • Palmaris longus

  12. Examination • AROM/PROM • Wrist: • Flexion • Extension • Circumduction • Radial deviation • Ulnar deviation • Supination • Pronation

  13. Examination • AROM/PROM • Fingers: • Flexion (each joint) • Extension (each joint) • Abduction (of each finger) • Adduction (of each finger) • Opposition (thumb and 5th finger) • Pinch (thumb and index finger) • Thumb: • Abduction • Adduction • Circumduction

  14. Neurologic Exam: Sensory • Sensory dermatomes • C2-C3: Occipital area and angle of jaw • C4: Supraclavicular area • Axillary Nerve Patch: Lateral aspect of shoulder • C5: Lateral upper arm • C6: Lateral forearm, thumb, and index finger • C7: Middle finger and palmar aspect of hand • C8: Small finger, ring finger, and medial portion of palmar surface • T1: Medial side of forearm and elbow • T2: Medial aspect of upper arm • T3: Medial aspect of upper arm

  15. Neurologic Exam: Motor • C1-C2: Neck flexion • C1-C2: Neck extension • C3: Neck lateral flexion • C4: Shoulder elevation • C5: Shoulder abduction and external rotation • C6: Elbow flexion and wrist extension • C7: Elbow extension and wrist flexion • C8: Thumb abduction and ulnar deviation • T1: Finger approximation
