18
Q

what is a saddle joint

A

one convex bone and one concave bone

19
Q

what is an example of a saddle joint

A

thumb

20
Q

what is resisted rom

A

strength testing

21
Q

what effect does the nervous system have on muscle contractions

A

Neurons conduct impulses from one part of the body to another.
The afferent nervous system conveys information to the CNS.
Information is processed by the CNS leading to a response.
The efferent neurons convey the response from the CNS to skeletal muscles by way of the somatic nervous system .

22
Q

what is the labyrinthine sense

A

sensory organ in inner ear that helps w/ balance

23
Q

what is proprioceptor or kinesthetic sense

A

knowing where your limb is

24
Q

what do visual or optic reflexes do

A

alert us for spacial relationships

25
Q

what do extensor or stretch reflexes do

A

extendors stretched beyond

26
Q

what are some factors influencing mobility

A

developmental considerations
physical health
mental health
lifestyle
attitude and values
fatigue and stress
external factors

27
Q

what is an isotonic exercise

A

muscle shortening and active movement

28
Q

what is an isometric exercise

A

muscle contraction without shortening

29
Q

what is an isokinetic exercise

A

muscle contraction with resistance

30
Q

what are some benefits of exercise

A

increased muscle efficiency and flexibility
increased coordination
reduced bone loss
increased efficiency of nerve impulse transmission

31
Q

what is the physical assessment for mobility

A
