2. Hypermobility (joints) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypermobility_(joints)

   Abnormal joint proprioception (an impaired ability to locate body parts in space and/or monitor an extended joint) These abnormalities cause abnormal joint stress, meaning that the joints can wear out, leading to osteoarthritis. The condition tends to run in families, suggesting a genetic basis for at least some forms of hypermobility.

4. Small joint manipulation - Wikipedia

   Most small joint manipulation is done on the hands or feet to hyperextend joints as part of a pain compliance strategy. The basic techniques of small-joint manipulation involve grabbing and bending back one or more fingers/toes and by applying pressure to the wrist/ankle joints that disrupt the interconnectivity of the system of smaller joints within.

6. Froment sign - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froment_sign

   Froment sign is the flexion of the interphalangeal joint of the thumb rather than adduction of the entire thumb. Note that the flexor pollicis longus is nearly always innervated by the anterior interosseous branch of the median nerve. Simultaneous hyperextension of the thumb MCP joint is indicative of ulnar nerve compromise. This is also known ...

7. Collateral ligaments of metacarpophalangeal joints - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_ligaments_of...

   During hyperextension the accessory ligaments are lengthened while the proper ligaments are shortened. [3] As a result, the joint is stable during full flexion while the relaxed collateral ligaments allows lateral and rotation movements during extension. [4] The tendons of interosseous and lumbricales add to the lateral stability of the joint. [1]

   Gamekeeper's thumb and skier's thumb are two similar conditions, both of which involve insufficiency of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb. The chief difference between these two conditions is that skier's thumb is generally considered to be an acute condition acquired after a fall or similar abduction injury to the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of the thumb, whereas gamekeeper ...
