final Flashcards
when do you use joint play?
when a joint has decreased range
what percentage is the swing phase
**35-40%
stance is 60-65%
during gait cycle how many times do you get a double leg stance
two times
during initial contact and terminal pre swing
capsular pattern of restriction for Gh joint
lateral rotation
abduction
medial rotation
what is contractile tissue
consists of mm’s, tendons, attachments and nerves
transmit force in contraction process
what is inert tissue
may get moved during the process of joint motion but do not actively produce contraction forces
bone, ligament capsule, bursa, periosteum, cartilage, fascia
myotome for C1-C2
neck flexion
C1-C2 LOOK AT YOUR SHOE
myotome for C3
neck side flexion
C3 FALLING TREE
C4
shoulder elevation
C5
shoulder abduction
C6
elbow flexion and wrist extension
C7
elbow extension and wrist flexion
C8
thumb extension and ulnar deviation
T1
finger abduction
L2
hip flexion
lift my shoe
L3
knee extension
L4
ankle dorsiflexion
stop the door
L5 toe to sky
big toe extension
S1 lift a tonne
ankle plantar flexion, eversion
hip extension
S2
knee flexion

rules of joint play
pt must be relaxed / fully supported
therapist must b relaxed, firm comfortable grasp
1 joint examined at a time
1 mvment at a time
unaffected side first
one articular surface is stabilized, while other is moved
mvments must be normal and not forced
ax of a joint should always be in loose packed or resting
mvments should not cause undue discomfort
in Trendelenburg - what is the part of gait cycle you need
hip stability - load response in mid swing phase
CI’s for joint play
hypermobility
inflammation
joint effusion
neoplasm/ cancer
recent fracture
excessive pain
acute inflamm disease
joint sepsis
bacterial infection
joint replacements
previous dislocation
systemic CT diseases (RA)
elderly w weakened CT
absolute CI for joint play
cancer
causes of joint dysfucntion
intra articular adhesions or pericapsular stiffness
shortened mm groups around joint
mm weakness and imbalance around joint
pain
nerve root adhesions
soft tissue restrictions
what is a dermatome
sensory distribution of each nerve root
defined by the area of skin supplied by a single nerve root
connect each spinal level to a specific section of skin
