Lecture 2: Physical Exam Flashcards
What is being tested in AROM
Contractile tissue
Nervous tissue
Inert tissue (lig, bones, etc)
What does the Beighton score for hypermobility test
Digiti minimi extension
Thumb hyperflexion
elbow hyper extension
Dorsiflexion
Lumbar spine (bending over to touch your toes)
What is the max score for the beighton tests
9/9
What are abnormal end feels
Muscle spasm (early or late)
Capsular (hard or soft)
Bone to bone
Empty (pain)
Springy block
What causes non capsular patterns
Internal derangement
Extra-articular lesions
Constant length
Postural = ______
Tight, hypertonic/facilitated
Phasic = ____
weak, inhibited
What occurs in upper crossed syndrome
Inhibited:
- Deep cervical flexors, lower trap/serratus anterior
Facilitated:
- SCM/pectoralis, Upper trap/levator scap
What occurs in lower crossed syndrome
Inhibited: Abdominals, glut min/med/max
Facilitated: Rectus femoris/illiopsoas, thoracolumbar extensors
what are normal end feels
bone to bone
soft tissue approximation
tissue stretch
Elbow extension would be what type of end feel
bone to bone
Which joints have capsular patterns
Only synovial joints
What is the capsular pattern for the GH joint
Ext, Abduction, internal rotation
What is an example of internal derangement
