False

will result in pain

Answer 21

movement beyond anatomical limits with pain

Question 22

PROM abnormal endpoint

spasm

Answer 22

involuntary muscle guarding

Question 23

PROM abnormal endpoint

loose

Answer 23

occurs in extreme hypermobility

PROM abnormal endpoint

springy block

Answer 24

rebound at endpoint

Question 25

PROM abnormal endpoint | "normal"

Answer 25

normal endpoints can also be abnormal if they are in joints where they are no expected.

Question 26

What does RROM evaluate?

Answer 26

Status of contractile tissue | Cyriax is the grading scale

Question 27

What is the purpose of MMT?

Answer 27

Used to determine extent of injury to contractile tissue. It is an isometric strength test of a single muscle or group performed in the mid range of motion
