1 muscle strength
slight contraction
, 0 muscle strength
no contraction
client has a suspected hip fx, do you assess ROM or pedal pulses
pedal pulses
tinel sign
direct percussion of the location of the median nerve at the wrist should produce
no symptoms in normal hand; in carpal tunnel, produces burning and tingling
phalen test
person holds hands back to back flexing wrists 90 degrees; normal is no
symptoms with acute flexion of wrist for 60 seconds; abnormal reproduces
numbness and burning if client has carpal tunnel
assess pulse __ to injury
