Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hallo :-) Well, I am translating DE-POL but thought an English term might be helpful... Does anybody know the correct English term for " Nackengriff " ? Context: after physiotherapy " NACKENGRIFF " has become possible. I would instinctively translate it gripping your neck but this patient would certainly not be able to do that - he cannot move his elbow! Could anybody help? I am also trying to find a nice term for " wackelsteif " (a WACKELSTEIF joint) Thanks a lot, Magdalena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hello Magdelena, The " Nackengriff " is a test of shoulder function. It seems to involve putting your hand on the back of your neck. The closest I can find in English is the Apley scratch test - scratching your shoulder blade. Here is a very nice document on examining the shoulder: http://www.aafp.org/afp/20000515/3079.html Here is a pdf article in German with illustrations. http://www.harvardkurs.de/muskel/pdf/spez._untersuchung_der_schulter. pdf If you Google for Nackengriff Schürzengriff, you'll find a fair bit of info. Good luck!
