The primary function/s of the elbow include:

True or False: The elbow is inherently stable in flexion. 

Elbow stability is provided by:

True or false. Valgus load at the elbow is restrained by the medial collateral ligament
and radial head.

Complete the sentence: Elbow distraction is inhibited by_______ in extension and
______ in flexion.

The greatest load on the radiohumeral joint occurs with:

During throwing the elbow experiences:

The elbow is subject to the greatest forces during the following phase/s of throwing:

True or false. Recurrent elbow instability occurs at a rate of 50%, following elbow
dislocation. 

Valgus extension overload injuries associated with throwing occur in which elbow
compartment?

Mechanoreceptors in the wrist are found in joint ligaments and in the joint capsule and are
activated by joint pressure, motion and velocity.

The cerebellum is responsible for the integration of somatosensory and proprioceptive
information resulting in conscious neuromuscular control.

When mechanoreceptors in the wrist joint are stimulated during wrist extension, a
monosynaptic reflex response will occur in the agonist muscles indicating a joint protection
function.

Polysynaptic reflexes result in co-activation of the wrist flexors and extensors providing
global stability.

Kinesthesia and joint position sense are processed in the motor cortex.

The sagittal bands

The lumbricals and interossei

Swan neck deformities commonly result from

The Elson test is used to test for a

Positive ulnar variance is when the articular surface of the ulnar lies proximal to the
articular surface of the radius and is associated with Triangular Fibrocartilagenous
Complex tears and impaction syndrome.

The distal radioulnar joint is stabilised by the volar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments
and the TFCC.

The TFCC stabilises the distal radioulnar joint, transmits axial loads between the
carpus and the ulnar and stabilises the radial aspect of the carpus.

The central portion of the TFCC is well vascularised.

The Guyon’s canal is a fibro-osseous tunnel situated on the medial aspect of the
carpal tunnel, through which the ulnar nerve and artery pass.
