Answer 1

Examination is when you are progressively collecting data.
This is your subjective information and objective information.
1. Cognitive screens
2. Pain scales
3. Initial observations
4. Vitals
5. Sensory screen
6. Inspection and palpation
7. Basics and chief complaint
8. History

Question 2

What is evaluation? What is apart of evaluation?

Answer 2

Evaluation is thinking about the data that you collected in the examination.
Evaluation includes your impressions, assessment, “is it mine”, and considerations for next steps

Question 3

Answer 3

Active
Active passicve
Passive

Question 4

For assessment of physiologic motion you must consider

Answer 4

Quality
Quantity
Subjective response

Question 5

Active range of motion (AROM) is ….

Answer 5

Movement of a joint provided entirely by the individual performing the exercise
There is no outside force aiding in the movement

Question 6

Passive ROM is..

Answer 6

Movement applied to a joint solely by an external force
It is gravity assisted

Question 7

What is the safest place to begin in learning to handle joints and assess physiologic motion

Answer 7

Active assistive ROM movement in which the handler directs and guides motion and asks the patient to assist

Question 8

Healthy findings are those that are

Answer 8

Smooth, with ease, and without substitution

Question 9

Presence of dysfunction is when movement is

Answer 9

Guarded, slow, with effort, wincing, or substituted

Question 10

What are the three descriptions for quantity of motion?

Answer 10

1. Not enough (stiff, hypomobile, limited)
2. Just right (WNL)
3. Too much (hypermobile or unstavle)

Question 11

Normal muscular or capsular end feel?

Answer 11

Muscular end feel is elastic like
Capsular end feel is a firm arrest of movement with slight creep

Question 12

What is muscle strength

Answer 12

The force exerted by a muscle or a group of muscles to overcome resistance in one maximql effort

Question 13

Muscle power is the

Answer 13

Work produces over a unit of time

Question 14

What affects muscle size

Answer 14

A larger cross sectional area will generate greater force

Question 15

What are type 1 fibers

Answer 15

Slow twitch fibers that are fatigue resistant and are generally recruited first

Question 16

What are type 2 fibers

Answer 16

Fast twitch fibers that generate larger force over a short time so they are useful for explosive movement. They fatigue quickly and are recruited last.

Question 17

Increased speed will generally ____ force

Answer 17

Decrease

Question 18

What is passive insufficiency

Answer 18

When the muscle length is increased too far to the point that it can no longer generate max force

Question 19

What is active insufficiency

Answer 19

When muscle length is shortened excessively so it no longer produces max force

Question 20

_____ shaped muscles generate much force

Answer 20

Pennate (feather shaped)
