Study Notes
Muscle Insertions
- Extensor digitorum communis and profundus tendons insert into the distal phalanges of digits 2-5
Ultrasound Imaging
- To image the rotator cuff muscles, the ultrasound probe should be placed on the shoulder
- Ultrasound is commonly used in musculoskeletal clinics for diagnostic purposes
- The arm should be in the neutral or slightly abducted position during ultrasound imaging of the rotator cuff muscles
- One of the pathologies that can be identified using ultrasound imaging of the upper limb is rotator cuff tendinopathy
Imaging Techniques
- To image the supraspinatus muscle, the probe should be placed on the shoulder during abduction of the arm
- The forearm should be in the pronated position during ultrasound imaging at the elbow joint
- During ultrasound imaging of the anterior forearm and carpal tunnel, the median nerve, flexor digitorum profundus, and flexor digitorum superficialis should be identified
- To image the brachial artery and veins, the probe should be placed medial to the biceps muscle
Joint Anatomy
- The sternoclavicular joint is a saddle-type joint
- Rotation at the sternoclavicular joint occurs during movements such as elevating the arm above the head
- The deltoid muscle function can be assessed using a simple clinical test where the patient resists downward pressure on the arm
Muscle Functions
- The biceps brachii and brachialis muscles are responsible for flexion at the elbow joint
- In the half-pronated position, the biceps brachii performs flexion at the elbow joint
- The palmar interossei muscles flex the metacarpophalangeal joints and extend the interphalangeal joints
- The tendons of the extensor digitorum communis and profundus are best identified on the dorsal side of the hand with the digits extended
- The palmar interossei muscle integrity can be assessed using a clinical test where the patient is asked to hold a piece of paper between their fingers
