Comp 2/3: Palpation, ROM/Barriers/Goniometer

Question 1

End Feel

Answer 1

Palpatory experience or perceived quality of motion when a joint is moved to its limit (barrier is approached)
Abnormal: early/late muscle spasm, soft/hard capsular

Question 2

Somatic Dysfunction

Answer 2

Impaired or altered function of related components of the somatic system: skeletal/arthrodial/myofascial structures, and vascular/lymphatic/neural elements
Diagnose with TART
Named for “where they like to live”/position of ease

Question 3

TART

Answer 3

Texture/Tissue changes
Asymmetry
Restriction/Range of Motion
Tenderness

Question 4

AROM

Answer 4

Requires patient to use their own muscles (agonists/antagonists) to achieve desired motion
Less than PROM because both sets of muscles are in use

Question 5

PROM

Answer 5

Does NOT require participation of the patient
Patient should be completely relaxed so NO muscles are in use (no muscular restrictions, only ligaments)
Greater than AROM

Question 6

Linkage

Answer 6

Dysfunctional segmental behavior where a single vertebra and adjacent rib respond to same regional motion tests with identical symmetric behaviors (rather opposing behaviors), suggesting viscera; reflex inputs

Question 7

Anatomic Barrier

Answer 7

Limit of motion imposed by anatomic structure, just beyond PROM limit
Point past which tissue disruption occurs

Question 8

Physiologic Barrier

Answer 8

Limit of active motion, can increase by warm up activities

As far as you can go by yourself

Question 9

Restrictive Barrier

Answer 9

Functional limit within anatomic range of motion, which abnormally diminishes normal ROM
Can’t achieve full range of motion due to muscle contraction, tight ligament, etc.

Question 10

Elastic Barrier

Answer 10

Range between physiologic and anatomic barrier of motion in which passive ligamentous stretching occurs before tissue disruption
Stretch between active and passive ROM
Area that a “warm up” affects
