mmt Flashcards
validity of goniometer based on
anatomical knoweldge
visual inspection
palpations
alignment
reliably goniometer depends on
placment
patient
environment (time, temp)
sources of error
misreading
therapist expectatin
motivation
subsituion movements
whats considered change ?
sametherapsit : 3-4 degs
diff: 5-10 degs
how to record ROM
Start, end
position
active or passive
F, N, WNL
3 reasons to measure ROM
evaluate changes
research
effectiveness of treatment
sub movements of knee during flexion
hip flexion
sub movements int/exter rotation
hip rotation, ankle dorsi/plantar
subs elbow flexion
trunk extention
shoulder flexion
sub elbow extention
trunk flexion, shoulder extension
sub movement pro
shoulder ABduction
internal roation
sub movement sup
shoulder Adduction
external rotation
Manual muscle testing
evaluate function / strength of individual mm / mm groups
Key elements of mm
strength (produce force)
power (produce force w speed)
endurance (maintain force)
mm strength
max amount force voluntarily in 1 RP max
