Cubital tunnel

a tunnel of tissue that runs under a bump of bone at the inside of your elbow (medial epicondyle)

Flexor muscles

they are anterior muscles that help flex the wrist or elbow forward

Extensor muscles

they are posterior muscles that straighten the elbow or bending the wrist backward. The movement is usually backward.

Brachioradialis

forearm flexor that helps us bend our flex our elbows

wrist extensor muscles

three muscles originate on the lateral epicondyle of the humerus; "Tennis Elbow"

Ulnar nerve

Sensory-motor nerve that, with its branches, affects the little-finger side of the arm and palm of the hand.

radial nerve

Sensory-motor nerve that, with its branches, supplies the thumb side of the arm and back of the hand.

Finger Fracture

Broken phalanx

Mallet Finger

uncontrolled flexion of DIP

Scaphoid Fracture

a break in the scaphoid bone in the thumb

Trigger Finger

Inflammation and thickening of the tendons of the finger makes it difficult to flex or extend the finger, may become stuck and then snap into position

De Quervain

swelling of thumb tendons due to repetitive wrist movements

Boutonniere Deformity

flexion of PIP joint and hyperextension of DIP joint

Bishop's Deformity

Inability to extend affected fingers because of excessive production of collagen

Skier's Thumb (Game Keeper's Thumb)

sprain of the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb

Collateral Ligament Sprain

tear of collateral ligament in finger

Bunnell littler test

The MCP joint is held in an extended position and the therapist passively flexes the PIP making note of the available range. The test is then repeated with the MCP joint flexed. If no change in motion is detected between the two tests, then capsular restriction at the PIP joint is implicated. If the motion increases when the MCP joint is flexed, then lumbricale muscle tightness is implicated

Finkelstein test

DeQuervain's Tenosynovitis

Scaphoid shift test

scaphoid fracture

Percussion test for finger

The patient extends their finger, and the physical therapist applies a forceful tap to the tip of the finger. If the patient experiences pain during the test, a fracture diagnosis is likely

Valgus stress test for thumb

force on the thumb that pulls the thumb away from the hand

Varus stress test for thumb

force on the thumb that pulls the thumb towards the hand

Valgus stress test for finger

checking for sprain in collateral ligaments - push joint medially

Varus stress test for finger

checking for sprain in collateral ligaments - push joint laterally
