11
New cards

Modified Obers Test Findings — Moderate Tightness

Horizontal position in reached

12
New cards

Modified Obers Test Findings — Minimal Tightness

If leg falls below horizontal but does not completely reach plinth

13
New cards

Gastrocnemius

>10 degrees DF (ideally 20)

14
New cards

Soleus

  • >10 degrees DF (ideally 20)

  • Make sure that knee is slightly passively flexed at the start

15
New cards

Knee to Wall

  • Standing

  • 10-12 cm

16
New cards

Pectoralis Major (clavicular)

  • supine

  • shoulder in 90 degrees abduction and ER with wrist flexed

  • Stabilise opposite shoulder and lower arm towards plinth

  • record distance from lateral epicondyle to/or past plinth

17
New cards

Pectoralis Major (Sternal)

  • Supine

  • Place shoulder in 135 degrees of abduction and ER with elbow flexed

  • Stablise opposite shoulder and lower arm toward plinth

  • record distance from lateral epicondyle to/or past plinth

18
New cards

Latissimus Dorsi

  • crook lying

  • check for any loss of lumbar spine position

  • record shoulder flexion

  • one hand holds around elbow and while maintaining shoulder in ER - passively flex shoulder above head towards plinth

19
New cards

Biceps Brachii

  • supine with test shoulder overlying edge of plinth

  • keep elbow extended with forearm pronation

  • lower arm/humerus

  • record distance from lateral epicondyle or range of shoulder flexion

20
New cards

Triceps Brachii (method 1)

  • sitting with elbow flexed

  • maintain elbow flexion and passively flex the shoulder to the limit of range

  • Record range of shoulder flexion

21
New cards

Triceps Brachii (method 2)

  • sitting

  • passively flex shoulder to end of range with elbow extended —> passively flex elbow to limit of range

22
New cards

Long Wrist Flexors (FDS, FDP, Flexor Digiti Minimi, Palmaris Longus)

  • sitting on plinth or chair with arm on plinth and hand over edge

  • keep elbow extended

  • passively extend wrist while maintain fingers in full extension

  • Measure wrist extension angle

23
New cards

Long Wrist Extensors (extensor Digitorum, Extensor Indicis, Extensor Digiti Minimi)

  • sitting (plinth or chair)

  • Keep elbow extended

  • passively flex wrist while maintaining fingers in flexion (i.e. curled)

  • Measure wrist flexion angle
