General assesment Flashcards
3 things in an anatomical lever
- fulcrum
- levers
- forces
what is the muscle force arm
Distance from muscle insertion to joint
1st class levers
applied force and resistance are on opposite sides of the fulcrum
2nd class lever
resistance lies between the applied force and fulcrum
3rd class levers
the force is applied between the resistance and the fulcrum
Ex of 3rd class lever
biceps brachii - most in the body
as kin what do we need to know in movement testing
- aRom
- pROM
- manual m testing
- joints above and below
- refer on
isometric contractions test what
contractile tissue
passive movements test what
inert and contractile structures
when inert tissue is injured where will pain be perceived
active and passive movements in same direction
if injured this movement should give inert tissue a pain free sensation
isometric restricted movements
what affects range of motion
- age
- gender
- pregnant
pRom is done before aRROM
false
pROM provides info regarding
- end-feels
- structure integrity
- capsular patterns
join ROM that is greater then normal is —
hyper mobility
