lecture 2: ROM, Flexibility and Manual Muscle Testing Flashcards
what is a diagnostic sign
objective and measrable
see, feel, hear, assess
what is a symptom
subjective and provided by perception of injured athelte
what is an acute injurt
sudden onset of symptoms
what is an acute injurt
sudden onset of symptoms
what is a chornic injury
slow onset of symptoms
what is microtrauma
multiple small stim that culminate to a painful reaction
what is a macrotrauma
LARGE stimular that lead to instantaeaous painful reaction
give an example of an acute and macrotrauma
ankle sprain
give an example of a chronic and microtrauma
stress fracture
what are the 2 reasons its important to evaluate the uninjured side
1) serves as a baseline
2) serves as a goal to what we want to get back to
what is the acronym for evaluopton process
HOPS
(history, observation, palpation, special/stress tests/physical assessment
explain history of hops
primary compain, MOI, signs and symtpoms, past injuries, any changes
explain observation of hops
posture, gait, deformtiies, brising, swelling wtc
explain palplation of hops
looking for deformities, tenderness, heat
explain stress tests/ physical assessment
doing AROM, PRom, RROM, flexibility, lig testing, neurological exain
what side do you always start on and why
uninjured to establish a baseline
what is important to remmeber in terms of joints when doing physycial tests
some muscles cross more than one joint so you may noeed to evaluate multiple joints
in neuromulscular injuries/pathlogies, what can be the source of the pain and why
nerve
can cause neuralgia/reffered pain
where shiuld you assess if you suspect the pain is coming from a nerve
spine
what does osteokinetic mean
movement that is visible from the outisde
give examples of osteokinetic movement
abduction, rotation, flexion, extension, supination, etc
in ROM what type of movements are we assessing
osteokinetic movements
what are the 2 thigns that affect ROM
affected by
1) joint arthrokineamties (bony structures)
2) soft tissue (muscle. ligs, capsules(
what is arthrokinetic movement
movement resulting from the bone movement inside
what is another nsme for flexibility
mobility
what is the defintion of m=flexibility
ability to move freely wihtout restriction
true or false: flexiblity will not fffect ROM
false, it will
what are the 2 types of flexibility
passive and active
in order to measure JOINT ROM in a joint with 2 joint muscles involved, the first muscle must be BLANK and the second must be BLANK
first muscle be elongated
second joint should be in a shorted position
give an example of how the muscles should be when assessing knee joint ROM
While looking at knee flexion, since gastroc also affects the joint, the ankle must be in a shorted postion
in order to measure MUSCLE LENGTH of flex of a 2 joint muscle, how should the muscle be placed
the muscle should be placed in an elongated position across all joints
give an example of how joints shouodnbe for testing muscle length
if looking at the hamstring musxle length:
the hip muscle be in full flexion and the knee in full extension
what is active ROM
perform voluntary movemetn
what does active ROM assess
assess muscle function
total amplitude, willingness, fludiity of movement
what is passive ROM
performed by the professional without participation from the patient
what does passive ROM assess
assess non contractratile strcutires (joints, ligs)
assess for end fell sensations and amplituedes
what is resisted ROM
muscle contraction against a ressitance
what does RROM assess
assess for muscle function at specific ROM
assess strength and endurance
if someone has pain on PROM, what is it most likely do to
injury to non contractule strengthes
if someone has pain on RROM or AROM what is ut most likely due to
muscle function injury
what is required to stretch
rewquires a segment to go to a point of resistance in the ROM
when does active stretching occur
when a person stretching supplies the force of the stretch
when does passive stretcching occur
occurs when a extersnal force causes increases a stretch
what are the two proprioceptors for strecthing
golgi tendon organs and muscle spindles
where are msucle spindles located
intrafusal muscle fibers
what do muscle spindles monitor changes in
monitor changes in msucle length (and speed)
what happens when sensory neuron from a muscle spindke innervates a motor neuton in muscle spindles
create the stretch reflex
when there is a rapid msucle lengthening, what happens to the muscle and why
muscle contraction
to avoid injury
