Exam 2 Flashcards
Differentiate between OT and PT’s role in functional ambulation
PT focuses on restoring or improving movement, strength, and range of motion
OT focuses on way to improve motor skills needed to do everyday occupations
Identify factors affecting functional ambulation
- Strength
- Cognition
- Range of motion
- Attention
- Endurance
- Vision
- Balance
- Motivation
Sagittal Plane/ Frontal Axis
a. Hip flexion/ extension
b. Knee flexion/ extension
c. Dorsiflexion/ Plantar Flexion
d. Toe flexion/ extension
Frontal Plane/ sagittal Axis
a. Hip abduction/ adduction
b. Ankle inversion/ eversion
Transverse Plane/ vertical axis
a. Lateral rotation
b. Medial rotation
c. Toe abduction/ adduction

occupations for hip extension
- Laying on stomach
- Full standing
- Walking
- Reaching overhead
occupations for hip flexion
- Putting on socks
- Sitting and standing from chair
- Climbing stairs
joint functions
- Connection between bones
- Bind skeletal system together
- Lever system make movement possible
- Make bone growth possible
- Proprioception
types of joints
- Fibrous joints
- Stability: dense connective tissue
- Sutures of skull, interosseous membranes - Cartilaginous joints
- Slightly moveable
- Pubic symphysis, sternocostal joint - Synovial Joints
- Mobile joints
- Allow purposeful movement
anatomy of synovial joint
- Bones
- Cartilage
- Joint capsule
- Synovial membrane
- Synovial fluid:
- Muscle:
- Nerves: sensory and motor
- Blood vessels
- Ligaments and tendons
1. Ligaments: connect bone to bone
2. Tendons: connect muscle to bone
3. Limited ability to heal
ball and socket joint
- Spherical surface fits into concave depression
- Most mobile
- Movement in all 3 axes
- Ex: glenohumeral joint
ellipsoid joint
- Oval shaped convex end articulates with concave basin of another
- Motion around 2 axes
- Ex: radiocarpal joint
saddle joint
- Convex and concave articulating surfaces
- Motion in 2 axes
- Ex: CMC joint of thumb
hinge joint
- Motion in single axis
- Only flexion and extension
- Ex: elbow joint
pivot joint
- Motion in 1 axis
- Bones rotating around another
- Ex: atlantoaxial joint
gliding joint
- Two flat surfaces of adjacent bones
- Least movement
- Ex: carpal bones of wrist
arthro vs osteokinematics
- Osteokinematics: what you see
- Arthrokinematics: what you do not see
normal joint end feel
- Soft: soft tissue approximates
- Firm: feel tension/ stretch of muscle
- Hard: bone one bone
abnormal joint end feel
- Soft: caused by edema, synovitis
- Firm: caused by increased muscle tone, tight tissue
- Hard: caused by osteoarthritis, hypertrophic ossification
- Empty: No end feel beause pain comes first
open pack position
- Position with least amount of joint congruency
- Capsule and ligaments are lax
- Point of greatest mobility
- EX: knee in full partial flexion
closed pack position
- Position with maximum joint congruency
- Capsule and ligaments taught
- Point of greatest stability
- EX: knee in full flexion
stance phase of gait
- initial contact: heel strike
- loading response: flat foot
- midstance
- terminal stance: heel off
preswing phase of gait
toe off
swing phase of gait
- initial swing: toe off
- mid-swing
- terminal swing: heel strike
trendelenburg gait
- weak hip abductors
- compensated by contralateral side bending
foot drop gait
- weak dorsiflexion
- compensated with hip or knee flexion
antalgic gait
- abnormally short stance phase on one leg
hemiplegic gait
- extensor spasticity from a stroke
- reduced knee flexion during swing phase
- compensated by contralateral side bend
ataxic gait
unsteady, staggering, uncoordinated, wider base of support
parkisonial gait
- forward flexed posture
- decreased trunk rotation and arm swing
- short shuffled steps, losing balance
use of walking aids for functional ambulation
increase the base of support
when are crutches used?
non weight bearing precautions
posterior leaf spring AFO
provide assist with dorsiflexion
least supportive
semi-solid AFO
provide dorsiflexion assist, some ankle stability, some control at knee
solid AFO
limits all foot and ankle motion
provides dorsiflexion assist and prevent knee hyperextension
KAFO
little to no voluntary control at the knee and foot with some voluntary control of the hip and trunk
HKAFO
complete or partial loss of voluntary control of trunk and lower extremities
