MMT Flashcards
Name 4 general principals of patient care
informed consent drape biomechanics brakes test normal first Active, passive, resisted, papl
inert tissue tests
passsive, palpation (ligs, joint, bursa)
contractile tissue test
active, resisted, palpation (mm, tendon)
active or passive test lets you see capsular pattern
passive
5 normal end feels
capsular, ligamentous, bony, soft, muscular
abnormal end feels
early capsular, boggy, springy, empty, bony
define capsular pattern
assessment of which movement lost, if pattern?
characteristic loss of ROM due to capsule (the norm)
i.e arthritis
non capsular pattern
no portions loss of ROM
ie. lig sprain, meniscus tear
what info do we get from assessment of mm
differential diagnosis (inert vs contractile)
structure integrity (torn?)
nerve
weakness (imbalance?)
name 4 resisted isometric findings
strong pain free
strong painful
weak pain free
weak painful
whats strong pain free mean
no contractile lesion
wats strong and painful mean
minor contractile lesion (mm)
whats weak and pain free
complete rupture, neuro
whats weak and painful mean
partial rupture contractile or fracture
how to do myotome test
hold for 5s (is there weakens in mm supplied by nerve)
