Chapter  

Photo   Description   Check  Off  

Perform  a  full  Lower  Quarter  Screen  

Slide  7  

 

Dermatomes,  Myotomes,  Reflexes,  UMN  test  (Babinski  or  clonus).  Discuss  interpretation  of  findings:  What  do  findings  of  hypo-­‐  or  hyper-­‐reflexia  mean?  What  do  findings  of  decreased  sensation  and  decreased  strength  in  the  same  dermatome/myotome  mean?  How  about  in  changes  in  different  combinations  of  dermatomes,  myotomes,  reflexes?  How  would  a  brachial  plexus  injury  present?  May  need  to  use  PubMed  to  discover  these  answers  

 

Performance  the  Beighton  Index  and  review  the  Brighton  Criteria  

Slide  8  

 

Hands  to  floor  plus  bilateral  testing  of  thumb  to  forearm,  elbow  extensibility,  knee  extensibility,  and  little  finger  MCP  extensibility.  Discuss  the  major  and  minor  Brighton  criteria  and  requirements  for  diagnosis  

 

The  2  accepted  fracture  rules  at  the  knee  

Slides  9-­‐10  

What  are  the  requirements  for  both  Pittsburgh  and  Ottawa  and  what  is  the  diagnostic  usefulness  of  each

Evidence-­‐Based  Examination  of  the  Knee  and  Thigh    Practice  Session  &  Skills  Check-­‐offs  

2    

Discuss  the  ACR  clinical  criteria  for  diagnosing  knee  OA  

Slide  11   Are  these  criteria  a  screen  for  OA?  What  is  the  value  of  a  positive  finding?  A  negative  finding?  Calculate  the  likelihood  ratios.  

 

Perform  the  patellar-­‐pubic  percussion  test  

Slide  13  

 

Place  a  stethoscope  on  the  subject’s  Pubic  bone  either  right  or  left  of  midline  (depending  on  side  being  tested)  and  tap  the  patella.  A  positive  test  for  fracture  is  indicated  by  a  muted  sound  on  the  involved  side  when  compared  to  the  uninvolved  

 

Have  the  subject  perform  a  squat  

Slide  14  

 

Discuss  possible  local  contributors  to  knee  pain  in  this  test.  Discuss  potential  proximal  and  distal  contributors  to  a  dysfunctional  test.
