Exam 3 Study Guide Flashcards
Kendall Scale 0/ None
No visible or palpable contraction
Kendall Scale 1/Trace
Visible or palpable contraction
Kendall Scale 2/ Poor
Full Range of Motion with gravity eliminated (horizontal)
Kendall Scale 3/Fair
Full Range of Motion against gravity
Kendall Scale 4/Good
Full Range of Motion against gravity, moderate resistance
Kendall Scale 5/Normal
Full Range of Motion against gravity, maximal resistance
Hamstrings muscle length normal
70-80 degrees hip flexion
Thomas test
measures iliospsoas and rectus femoris, normal is posterior thigh flat on table and knee flexed at least 80 degrees.
Ely’s test
tests rectus femoris, normal is full knee flexion.
Ober test
measures IT band, normal is upper leg parallel to table.
ulnar nerve testing
Shoulder Abduction
Shoulder ER
Elbow Flexion
FA pronation
Wrist extension
Median nerve testing
Shoulder Depression
Shoulder Abduction
Writs and digit extension
FA supination
Shoulder ER
Elbow extension
Radial nerve testing
Shoulder Depression
Elbow extension
FA pronation
Shoulder IR
Wrist and digit flexion
Single-limb stance test
<5 sec = 2.5x fall risk compared to those >5 sec
Neutralizing synergist
muscle contraction prevents unwanted movement produced by the agonist. (ie finger flexion with wrist stability)
