A

40 degrees

32
Q

0

A

no movement or contraction

33
Q

clinically, which side do you test first?

A

uninvolved side

34
Q

what is normal muscle length

A

has the flexibility
and extensibility required
to allow normal joint
motion

35
Q

3

A

against gravity (Full ROM); no pressure applied

36
Q

when measuring ROM, what is done to the distal segment of joint?

A

taken through full range of motion

37
Q

normal ROM for shoulder abduction

A

180 degrees

38
Q

MLT involves elongating the muscle in what direction?

A

direction opposite of its action

39
Q

normal ROM for cervical rotation

A

50 degrees

40
Q

hard end feel

A

bone/cartilage

41
Q

pennate muscles

A

fibers run obliquely (ex. rectus femoris)

42
Q

what are the terms associated with muscle strength grading?

A
5 - normal
4 - good
3 - fair
2 - poor
1 - trace
0 - none
43
Q

what concept is important to consider to 2-joint muscle when measuring muscle length?

A

passive insufficency; 2-joint muscles do not have sufficient extensibility
to lengthen through full ROM for both joints
simultaneously

44
Q

3+

A

minimal pressure

45
Q

Arthrokinematic

A

occurs at joint surface, can’t be seen

46
Q

passive insufficiency

A

full range of motion of a joint is limited due to the length of the muscle (as opposed to ligaments or structural inhibition)

47
Q

4-

A

min-moderate pressure

48
Q

Inclinometer

A

similar to a level, uses air or liquid

49
Q

pseudomyostatic contracture

A

muscle maintained in a central nervous system pathology that is maintaining the muscle in a constant state of contracture (causes increased tone)

50
Q

break test

A

when examiner applies external pressure to force patient to

give in during muscle testing

51
Q

2+

A

full ROM gravity eliminated with minimal resistance OR partial ROM against gravity

52
Q

what are 4 ways to maximize reliability?

A

always use the same instrument, position, procedure & examiner

53
Q

purpose of MMT (3)

A

(1) detect weakness, (2) detect imbalances, (3) determine ability of muscles to function in movement and provide stability and support

54
Q

myostatic contracture

A

The adaptive shortening of the muscle, leading to tightness (no pathology, could be as a result of poor posture)

55
Q

fan-shaped muscles

A

fibers arranged side by side (ex. pec major)

56
Q

what can cause weakness? (5)

A

nerve involvement, disuse atrophy, stretch weakness, pain, fatigue

57
Q

fusiform muscles

A

parallel fibers with flat tendons (ex. biceps)

58
Q

active insufficiency

A

when a two joint muscle is no longer able
to generate an effective force due to being placed in a fully shortened
position
