Midterm Flashcards
How to assess movement with FMS
Squatting, stepping, lunging, reaching, leg raising, push-up, rotary stability
What systems form a functional human chain of biomechanics
Nervous, muscular, skeletal, and cardiovascular systems
What are some injury risk factors
Previous injury, high/low BMI, asymmetry, poor balance
Where are Joint Mecano receptors found
Joint capsule, ligaments, menisci, muscles, tendon
Where are muscle McCannel receptors found
Muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs
What is the ideal posture
ear – shoulder – hip – knee – ankle
What is kyphosis
Upper back curvature
What is lordosis
Lower back curvature
What is scoliosis
S shape of the spine in the frontal plane
What is genu valgum
Knock knees/knees inward
What is genu Verum
Bowlegs/knees outward
What is tibial recurvatum
Hyperextension of the knee
What is Q angle
A measurement of the pelvis [ASIS] to the patella
What is the average Q angle in males versus females
Males <13 degrees
Females <18 degrees
What is pes planus
Flatfoot
What is Pes cavus
High arch foot
What is an athletic injury
Disruption in tissue continuity
Forces on the body passing the body‘s threshold
What is an exposed injury
Disruption of skin continuity
What is an unexposed injury
Internal, skin not broken
What are the two mechanisms of athletic injury
Direct and indirect
What is a hematoma
It is more severe than a contusion [Bruise], a localized mass of blood and lymph
What is a muscle strain
An injury to a muscle or tendon
What is a minor muscle strain
Overstretch of a muscle or tendon
What is a severe muscle strain
A partial or complete tear of a muscle or tendon
What are the three grades of strains
Grade 1-pull/stretch
Grade 2- partial tear
Grade 3- avulsion (complete tear)
What is a ligament sprain
Stretching or tearing ligaments
Define dislocation
Where the bone is forced out of normal position in the joint
What are the types of dislocations
Normal, anterior – dislocates forward, posterior – dislocates backwards
What is acromioclavicular dislocation
Where the clavicle pops up from the ligaments tearing completely
What is subluxation
An incomplete or partial dislocation
What is luxation
A complete separation of joints
