Question
Answer
Carpal Tunnel   contains flexor tendons, median nerve  
🗑
Carpal Tunnel syndrome   compression of the median nerve - numbness, pain in arm and hand  
🗑
flexor retinaculum   makes the roof of the carpal tunnel (aka transverse carpal ligament)  
🗑
median nerve   innervates all forearm flexors, sensory forearm innervation of the hand (1st 3.5 fingers)  
🗑
EMG/nerve conduction studies   electromyogram - can confirm a diagnosis. Nerve conduction studies show increased nerve function after OMT  
🗑
myofascial release    
🗑
opponens pollicus   originates from the flexor retinaculum - allows you to oppose the thumb  
🗑
Phalen test   hands with palms together  
🗑
tinel sign   tap on the flexor retinaculum - positive sign = pain  
🗑
transverse carpal ligament   same as flexor retinaculum  
🗑
double crush syndrome   carpal tunnel syndrome + thoracic outlet syndrome  
🗑
radiculopathy (C5-C8)   nerve root pathology - impingement in the neck. Keep as a diagnostic option  
🗑
Carpal Tunnel treatment: 3 phases   1. release transverse carpal lig. 2. opponens roll. 3. wrist extension to pull flexor tendons into carpal tunnel  
🗑
anterior subluxation   anterior position of the rib  
🗑
costochondritis   aka Tietze's syndrome - inflammation of 2nd costochondral junction. Treat with steroids  
🗑

🗑
elevated rib   inhalation dysfunction (exhalation restriction)  
🗑

🗑
radiocarpal joint   between radius an carpal bones. Carpal bones have anterior glide in extension, posterior glide in flexion  
🗑

🗑
deQuervian tenosynovitis   swelling of tendon sheath that surrounds abd. pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons at the wrist. Inflammation thickens tendon sheath and constricts tendon as it glides in sheath - crepitus over tendon sheath as pt flexes and extends thumb  
🗑
nerve compression syndromes   ulnar nerve (cubital tunnel syndrome), median nerve compression at the elbow, posterior interosseous nerve compression, pronator syndrome (muscular compression of median nerve in the proximmal forearm), radial tunnel syndrome  
🗑
structural scoliosis   spinal curve is fixed and inflexible  
🗑
functional scoliosis   spinal curve is flexible - correctable condition caused by postural or biomechanical factors  
🗑

🗑

🗑
cobb angle   line across top survace of superior vertebra, line across bottom of inferior vertebra, perpendicular lines off of both. Then angle of intersection = Cobb angle  
🗑
lumbosacral angle (ferguson's angle)   angle between sacral base and line parallel to the ground - normally 25-35°  
🗑
short leg syndrome   unlevel sacral base due to one leg shorter than the other leads to functional scoliosis causing the spine to compensate with a type 1 curve to keep the eyes level  
🗑
asymmetry   can be indicative of restriction or of structural problem (i.e. short leg syndrome)  
🗑
adductor tension   short leg syndrome can cause this  
🗑

🗑
energy conservation   momentum from one stride is carried into the next  
🗑
gait    
🗑
