Functional movement patterns of the upper body include all except:
a. Pushing
b. Pulling
c. Lifting
d. Striding
d. Striding
Striding is not a functional movement of the upper body.
Upper rotation of the scapulae occur when the arms:
Move overhead
Movements of the glenohumeral joint include:
Flexion/Extension
Abduction/Adduction
Medial/Lateral Rotation
(NOT upward or downward rotation)
When observing vertical alignment from the side, what key bony landmarks do you want to line up with the plumb line of gravity?
Tip of the earlobe
Top of the shoulder
Center of rib cage
High point of iliac crest
Midpoint of lateral side of knee
Slightly in front of lateral malleolus of the ankle
What muscle imbalances are usually associated with thoracic kyphosis?
Thoracic extensors and scapular stabilizers are weak and long, anterior chest muscles are tight and short.
On an inhale, the diaphragm contracts and the dome moves:
Downward, drawing in air.
The inner unit or core includes what muscles?
Pelvic floor
Transverse abdominis
Multifidi
Diaphragm
Active isolated stretching technique is:
Contracting the opposing muscle to release the target muscle.
The stretch reflex is responsible for:
Moderating muscle length, protecting against overstretching a joint.
In a normal healthy body, the inner unit, or core, fires:
- Reflexively in postural changes/ load placed on spine
- Consciously when needed for support
- To propel forward motion or allow it by stabilization
The primary functions of the spine include:
- Force transference
- Protection of spinal cord and nerve roots
- Movement
What is the name of the first cervical vertebra?
Atlas
What is the name of the second cervical vertebra?
Axis
The soft jelly like center of the intervertebral disc is called:
The nucleus pulposus of the spine.
Ideal alignment of the legs from side view:
Hip, knee, ankle joints lined up over each other.
Ideal alignment of the legs from the frontal view:
Just inside ASIS of the hip lines up with the center of the patella and roughly with the second toe of the foot.
Ideal alignment of the legs when viewing from the back:
Center of gluteal fold, center of back of knee, Achilles are vertical and center through the heel.
When a muscle on one side of a joint is tight, preventing optimal ROM and strength gains, this is called:
Reciprocal inhibitions
Which of the leg joints is a ball and socket joint?
Hip joint
All of the following are true of the sacroiliac joint except:
A. It is a fixed joint with no movement
B. It is often an area of dysfunction
C. It allows for minimal movement
D. It attaches to the pelvis via strong ligaments
A. It is a fixed joint with no movement
Scapulohumeral rhythm refers to:
The movement of the scapulae as they relate to one another.
