;;A. Review of Medical Records:
|
|
;;
|
|
;;B. Medical History (Subjective Complaints):
|
|
;;Are there flair ups of joint disease affecting hand, thumb or fingers?
|
|
;; If so:
|
|
;; 1. State severity, frequency and duration of flair ups.
|
|
;; 2. Name precipitating and alleviating factors.
|
|
;; 3. Estimate to what extent, if any, flair ups result in additional
|
|
;; limitation of motion or functional impairment.
|
|
;;
|
|
;;C. Physical Examination (Objective Findings):
|
|
;;Designate fingers as: thumb, index, long, ring, and little. Provide a detailed
|
|
;;assessment of each affected joint. State whether the individual is right
|
|
;;or left hand dominant. Use a goniometer for measuring joint angles. Refer to
|
|
;;Residuals of Amputations worksheet, if applicable.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; 1. Evaluation of Ankylosis
|
|
;;For each anklyosed joint, include angle of anklyosis. Describe any rotation or
|
|
;;any angulation of bone.
|
|
;;Zero degrees of flexion represents the fingers fully extended, making a
|
|
;;straight line with the rest of the hand.
|
|
;; The "position of function" of the hand is:
|
|
;; Wrist dorsiflexion: 20 to 30 degrees
|
|
;; Metacarpophalangeal flexion: 30 degrees
|
|
;; Proximal interphalangeal joint flexion: 30 degrees
|
|
;; Thumb abduction and rotation: thumb pad faces the finger pads.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; 2. Evaluation of Limitation of Motion of Single or Multiple Digits of the
|
|
;; Hand
|
|
;;Provide range of motion for each digit of the hand.
|
|
;;Normal Ranges of Motion for wrist, index, long, ring and little fingers:
|
|
;; Metacarpophalangeal joint (wrist): zero to 90 degrees of flexion
|
|
;; Proximal interphalangeal joint: zero to 100 degrees of flexion
|
|
;; Distal (terminal) interphalangeal joint: zero to 70 or 80 degrees of flexion
|
|
;;
|
|
;; 3. Evaluation of Hand as a unit
|
|
;;Measure the gap, in inches:
|
|
;; Between the tip of the thumb and the fingers
|
|
;; Between the tips of the fingers and the proximal transverse crease of the palm
|
|
;; Between the thumb pad and the fingers with the thumb attempting to oppose
|
|
;; the fingers
|
|
;; Describe strength for pushing, pulling and twisting. Describe dexterity for
|
|
;; twisting, probing, writing, touching and expression. Comment on whether and
|
|
;; how (e.g. decreased range of motion, in degrees) the flexion deformity
|
|
;; interferes with the function of the other fingers.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; 4. Additional detailed measurements and consideration of other factors
|
|
;; affecting function
|
|
;;Measure the active and passive range of motion of each affected joint. Include
|
|
;;movement against gravity and against strong resistance.
|
|
;;State whether and to what extent the range of motion (in degrees) or joint
|
|
;;function is additionally limited by pain, fatigue, weakness, or lack of
|
|
;;endurance following repetitive use or during flair-ups. If more than one
|
|
;;of these is present, state, if possible, which has the major functional
|
|
;;impact. Include rationale for conclusions.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; D. Diagnostic and Clinical Tests:
|
|
;;Include results of all diagnostic and clinical tests upon which examiner is
|
|
;;basing the diagnosis.
|
|

|
