Q

3 characteristics of ROM and motion

A

Direction: Flexion, Extension, side bending, rotation

Range: actual measurement in degrees

Quality: smooth, ratcheting, restricted, exhibiting resistance to the motion induced

Q

Stiffness flexibility

A

Reduced ROM of a joint or group of joints

17
Q

Functional Unit of the Spine

A

Two vertebrae, their associated disc, neurovascular, and other soft tissues

18
Q

Coupled motion

A

Consistent association of a motion along about on axis, with another motion about or along a second axis

The principle motion cannot be produced without the associated motion aoccuring as well

19
Q

Ipsilateral

A

Same side

20
Q

Contralateral

A

Opposite side
