Anatomy Flashcards
What is the most common shoulder instability?
Anterior position (forward)
In what position is the arm when the shoulder is anteriorly dislocated?
Extension, external rotation and abduction
In what position is the arm when the should is posteriorly dislocated?
Internal rotation and adduction
What is common treatment for frozen shoulder (Adhesive capsulitis)?
Moving the arm within the pain-free ROM
In general, when does injury or failure of a tissue occur?
A load that exceeds the failure tolerance of the tissue produces an injury.
What action does the serratus anterior have on the scapula?
It protracts and holds the scapula against thoracic wall
Which task will be most limiting for a person with a supraspinatus injury?
Abduction
What are the primary ergonomic risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders?
Force, repetition and postures
Occupational health(?) - A worker is required to perform precise work tasks, such as writing or drawing, from a standing
position. Which working height is considered most desirable to perform these tasks?
Above-elbow height
Why? Think about neck posture/visual requirements.
Which movement is most likely to become limited following damage to the gracilis muscle?
Hip adduction
What is the appropriate order for the three phases of the healing process? Think redness/swelling
Inflammation, proliferation, remodelling
What is a mechanism of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprain?
Knee hyperextension with rotation
ALSO moving the knee into valgus position with lateral rotation
Which of the following injuries is least likely to occur because of the strong static and dynamic
structures of the knee?
Complete dislocation
An electrician has been referred to the kinesiologist for anterior shoulder pain with shoulder
adduction at 90 degrees of flexion. The client shows positive signs for Hawkins-Kennedy test.
What injury does the client show positive signs for?
Hawkins test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mSv7gLXyYg&t=16s&ab_channel=UW-DepartmentofFamilyMedicineandCommunityHealth
Shoulder impingement; mechanical compression of the supraspinatus and biceps tendon with the subacromial bursa, resulting in a positive Hawkins-Kennedy test.
A basketball player presents to the kinesiologist after sustaining an injury. The ankle was
forced into inversion while plantar flexed upon landing on an opponent’s foot. Which ligament
is most likely injured?
Anterior talofibular; this ligament resists inversion during plantar flexion.
What is the mechanism of injury for a herniated intervertebral disc in the lumbar region of the
spine?
Repeated or prolonged flexion of the lumbar spine; can cause the annulus of
the disc to migrate resulting in bulge or herniation.
Which posture is exaggerated by tight hip flexors, tight low back extensors and weak
abdominals?
Lumbar lordosis
Which of the following describes a second class lever?
Applied force and the resistance force are on the same side of the fulcrum. Resistance force is closer to the fulcrum.
Tendons are:
a) highly solicited
b) highly avascular
c) neither
d) both
b) highly avascular
TRUE or FALSE:
All body tissues are derived from the mesoderm.
FALSE.
True: All body tissues are derived from the embryonic connective tissue called mesenchyme.
What are the three differentiating layers of the embryo?
Ectoderm: outer of the body and nervous tissue
Endoderm: lining of the body and digestive track
Mesoderm: everything else including - muscles, ligaments, cartilage, bone, blood etc..
What are the three types of fibres found inside the ground substance between the cells of connective tissue?
Collagenous (White), Elastic (yellow), Reticular
