The patient must stand unsupported with eyes open and hands on hips for 30 seconds. If the patient takes a step or removes a hand from the hip, the timer is stopped. The patient may make two attempts to complete the 30 seconds. Similar to the sensory organization test, the visual pathway would then be removed by closing the eyes.
In this scale, muscle strength is graded on a scale from 0 to 5. For evaluating the strength of the intrinsic hand muscles, a small modification to the standard MRC grading has been made so that grade 3 indicates ‘full active range of motion’ as compared to ‘movement against gravity’: [2]
Radial side of the proximal phalanx of the index finger: 2 Radial side of the middle phalanx of the index finger: 3 Tip of the index finger: 4 Tip of the middle finger: 5 Tip of the ring finger: 6 Tip of the little finger: 7 Distal interphalangeal joint crease of the little finger: 8 Proximal interphalangeal joint crease of the little finger: 9
A hand geometry reading device with pegs to control the placement of the hand. Angled mirror on the left reflects the side view image of the hand to the camera. A CCD camera is beneath the keypad to take the top view image of the hand and the mirror image. [2] Hand geometry is a biometric that identifies users from the shape of their hands ...
In the modified Allen test, one hand is examined at a time: [2] The patient is asked to clench their fist for about 30 seconds. Pressure is applied over the ulnar and the radial arteries so as to occlude both of them. Still elevated, the hand is then opened. It should appear blanched (pallor may be observed at the finger nails).
The hands and feet of people with ectrodactyly are often described as "claw-like" and may include only the thumb and one finger (usually either the little finger, ring finger, or a syndactyly of the two) with similar abnormalities of the feet. [7] People with oligodactyly often have full use of the remaining digits and adapt well to their ...
The Hoffmann's reflex test itself involves loosely holding the middle finger and flicking the fingernail downward, allowing the middle finger to flick upward reflexively. A positive response is seen when there is flexion and adduction of the thumb on the same hand. [4] Eg. in hypertonia, the tips of other fingers flex and the thumb flexes and ...
