McMurray Test Used to detect a torn meniscus. Have pt lie supine and flex one knee.
Position your thumb and fingers on either side of the joint space. Hold the heel with your other
hand, fully flexing the knee, and rotate the foot and knee outward to a lateral position. Extend
and then flex the patient.
Ballottement ◘Used to determine the presence of an effusion on the knee form excess fluid
◘ With knee extended, apply downward pressure on the suprapatellar pouch with the web or
the thumb and forefinger of one hand, and then press the patella quickly downward against the
femur with a finger of your other hand. If effusion present, a tapping or clicking sound will be
sensed when the patella is pushed against the femur
◘Release the pressure against the patella but keep your finger lightly touching it. If effusion
present the patella will float out as if a fluid wave were pushing it.
Degree of knee flexion considered normal 130
When assessing for carpal tunnel syndrome, the Tinel sign can be performed by tapping the
Median nerve
Which statement helps differentiate between osteoarthritis and RA? I get extremely tired by
mid-morning, even when I sleep well.
(RA)
Bouchard's nodes hard, bony outgrowths or gelatinous cysts on the proximal
interphalangeal joints. Seen in osteoarthritis
,Heberden's nodes Swelling of distal interphalangeal finger joints, characteristic of
osteoarthritis
Cranial Nerve 1 Olfactory (smell)
- sense of smell, check patency
Cranial Nerve 2 Optic
- visual acuity (distant, near, confrontation)
Cranial Nerve 3 Oculomotor
- PERRLA and extraocular movements (CFG)
Cranial Nerve 4 Trochlear
- downward/inward eye movement (tested with CN 3)
Cranial Nerve 5 Trigeminal
- jaw movement (open/clench jaw, mastication)
Cranial Nerve 6 Abducens
- lateral eye movement (tested with CN 3)
, Cranial Nerve 7 Facial
- close/open eyes, puff out cheeks, smile, frown
Cranial Nerve 8 Acoustic/ Vestibulocochlear (hearing and balance)
- weber, rinne, whisper
Cranial Nerve 9 Glossopharyngeal
- swallow, gag reflex
Cranial Nerve 10 Vagus
- has to do with motor supply to the pharynx so you have the patient say "ahhh" and can assess
efficacy of speaking muscles as well as observe the uvula which should be midline and not
deviate on movement
Cranial Nerve 12 Hypoglossal (tongue movement)
Assessing during field of gaze test When assessing patient's with severe, unremitting
headaches, the experienced examiner evaluates movement of the eyes for the presence or
absence of lateral (temporal) gaze.
The sixth cranial nerve is commonly one of the first to lose function in the presence of
increased intracranial pressure.
Rapid hand movement tests for Proprioception and cerebellar function. Observe for any
involuntary movements such as tremors, tics, or fasciculations.
