class one - MSK exam Flashcards
what are janda’s cross syndromes - upper
“X” shape created by overlapping underactive (weak) and overactive (tight) muscles in the neck, chest, and shoulders.
This can lead to postural deviations, such as a forward head and shoulder posture, and increased thoracic kyphosis.
what are janda’s cross syndromes - lower
imbalanced muscle activity in the hip flexors, low back extensors, abdominals, and glutei.
This can create a “crossed pattern” of disturbed sagittal lumbopelvic posturo-movement alignment and control.
what nerve serves the abd (TFL and glute med and min)
superior gluteal nerve
what nerves serves the glute max
inferior gluteal nerve
what glide do we use to improve ER of the hip
anterior glide
for the screw home mechanism whihc way does the tibia rotate whne in full extension
laterally
ER
this is the in open chain position
for the screw home mechnism which way does the tibia rotate when coming out of full extension
medially
IR
what is homans test for
DVT
how do we perform hoamans test
Discomfort in the calf muscles on forced dorsiflexion of the foot with the knee straight
Once the knee is extended the examiner raises the patient’s straight leg to 10 degrees, then passively and abruptly dorsiflexes the foot and squeezes the calf with the other hand.
what is active insufficienty
The inability of a two joint muscle to shorten simultaneously at
both joints
action of the msuscle
EX: try to flex you shoulder and elb at the same time, it gets harder, the biceps are being activated
what is passive insufficiency
The inability of a two joint muscle to lengthen simultaneously at
both joints
the opposite action of the muscle - stretch of the muscle
EX: try to flex you shoulder and elb at the same time, it gets harder, the triceps are being stretch
