Pronator teres and pronator anterior muscle strength test

The pronator and anterior muscle strength tests are a method of examining the degree of spasm and spasm of the muscle. The main function of the pronated round muscle and the anterior circumflex muscle is to make the forearm pronde, to rotate the anterior round muscle and to flex the forearm. When the two tendons are present, the forearm pronation movement is limited. Basic Information Specialist classification: neurological examination classification: neuroelectrophysiology Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Before the forearm is screwed forward, remove the front of the front to ensure that there is enough space for the forearm to swing forward to prevent the forearm from being bruised. Normal value The forearm can do free pronation movement. Clinical significance Abnormal result The main function of the pronated round muscle and the anterior circumflex muscle is to make the forearm pronde, to rotate the anterior round muscle and to flex the forearm. In the two tendons, the forearm pronation movement is limited, which is a sign of paralysis of the median nerve (derived from the cervical spinal cord 6-7 and the brachial plexus, the middle anterior and the lateral bundle). The population to be examined: patients with pronated round muscles and anterior tendon. Precautions Forbidden before inspection: Before the forearm is rotated, the front part should be removed to ensure enough space for the forearm to swing forward to prevent the forearm from being bruised. Requirements for inspection: Do not overstretch when the forearm cannot be rotated. Inspection process The paralyzed patient straightens the forearm and makes the forearm perform a pronation action from the supination position. The examiner simultaneously gives the impedance and detects the muscle strength. Not suitable for the crowd A patient with an injured or disabled arm. Adverse reactions and risks Generally no adverse reactions.
