Answer 14

contracture

Question 15

abnormal contraction maintained beyond physiologic need. most often sudden and involuntary muscular contraction that results in abnormal motion and is usually accompanied by pain and restriction of normal function

spasm

Question 16

asymmetry is determined by ___ and __-

Answer 16

vision or palpation

Question 17

tenderpoint vs trigger point

Answer 17

tender point
-smalll discrete hypersensitive areas within myofascial structures that result in localized pain

trigger point
-small discrete hypersensitive areas within myofascial structures, palpation causes referred pain away from site
