Q

identify what mm grade is being identified

more than 50% ROM against gravity

A

3- fair minus

18

Q

remember:

A

P- (inc ROM; Gravity minimized
P+ (less than 50% ROM; Gravity minimized; slight resistance)
F- (more than 50% ROM; against gravity
F+ (complete ROM; against gravity; slight resistance)

Q

which hand should be at the origin of the mm for stabilization

A

proximal hand

23
Q

which hand provides resistance

A

distal hand

24
Q

identify the abnormal muscle tone

absence of tone; absence of deep tendon reflexes

A

Flaccidity

25
Q

identify the abnormal muscle tone

decreased in normal mm tone (low tone)

A

Hypotonus

26
Q

identify the abnormal muscle tone

increase in mm tone

A

Hypertonus

27
Q

tone that is caused by injury of the brain

A

Cerebral hypertonia

28
Q

tone that results from injuries of the spinal cord that is not velocity-dependent

A

spinal hypertonia

29
Q

a motor disorder characterized by velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflex; exaggerated tendon jerks

A

type of rigidity

there is constant resistance is felt throughout the ROM when part is moved slowly and passively

A

lead pipe rigidity
