s/l knee RA position? - NoClue
Posted: Oct 14, 2011
Left shoulder injury
Supine exam demonstrates a s/l knee RA position of approximately 80 degrees..."
Does not sound like it makes sense (knee arthritis in the shoulder?). It has to be something else, but I cannot make any other words out and it clearly sounds like knee RA position. Any help?
horizontal? lateral? - nm

external rotation? internal rotation? - nm
[ In Reply To ..].
No :( Sounds very much like knee RA - thank you though - NM - NoClue
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Maybe...sm - GT
[ In Reply To ..]Doctors love to use abbreviations and maybe this doc is saying something like this... "Supine exam demonstrates an ERA position of approximately 80 degrees." ER could be external rotation and A abduction, written like ER/A. Usually they say external rotation and abduction but if they're in a hurry, they'll abbreviate and leave it up to the MT to figure it out. Maybe doc is saying--instead of "a knee RA" he is saying "an ERA." ??
ERA position - NoClue
[ In Reply To ..]YES! I can definitely hear it as "an ERA position" and it makes perfect sense. Thank you, thank you!!
