Upper Extremity

Shoulder range of motion could be tested in terms of forward flexion, elevation, and abduction. Elbow range of motion in terms of flexion/extension, flexion contracture, or extensor lag can be assessed. Forearm supination/pronation and wrist flexion/extension can be assessed as well. Observing the patient making a fist, raising the thumb, abducting/adducting the digits, or making an “ok” sign is an easy way to assess nerve function. We find it effective, especially with children, so ask them to mirror our movements on their screen to quickly assess range of motion and function of the upper extremity and to elicit asymmetry.
