Motion Dynamics

Question 1

Physiologic barrier?

Answer 1

Limit of active motion

Question 2

Elastic range?

Answer 2

Range between the physiologic and anatomic barrier (end of passive motion, doctor is doing the motion)

Question 3

Anatomic barrier?

Answer 3

Limit of ROM imposed by anatomic structure

Question 4

Restrictive barrier?

Answer 4

Functional limit that abnormally diminishes the normal physiologic range.

Question 5

Motion plane?

Answer 5

Flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points on it would wholly lie

Question 6

Motion axis?

Answer 6

Straight line around which an object rotates

Question 7

Coronal/frontal/lateral plane

Answer 7

Bisects the body into front and back halves

Question 8

Sagittal/antero-posterior plane

Answer 8

Bisects the body into right and left halves

Question 9

Horizontal/transverse plane

Answer 9

Divides the body into superior and inferior

Question 10

Sagital horizontal axis?

Answer 10

Sagittal plane: Flexion and extension on the axis

Question 11

Frontal horizontal axis?

Answer 11

Frontal coronal plane, Side bending, Horizontal/transverse: abduction, adduction

Question 12

Vertical axis?

Answer 12

Transverse plane, rotation

Question 13

Type of joint found between C1 and C2

Answer 13

Pivot joint

Question 14

Type of joint found in the hip?

Answer 14

Ball and socket synovial joint

Question 15

Type of joint found in radius and carpal bones

Answer 15

condyloid synovial joint

Question 16

type of joint found between tarsal bones

Answer 16

Plane synovial joint

Question 17

Type of joint found between trapezium and 1st metacarpal bone

Answer 17

saddle synovial joint

Question 18

Type of joint found in the elbow

Answer 18

Hinge joint

Question 19

Range of motion is described by?

Answer 19

Direction, Range and quality

Question 20

Direction for range of motion includes

Answer 20

Flexion, extension, sidebending and rotation

Question 21

range for range of motion?

Answer 21

is the actual measurements in degrees

Question 22

quality for range of motion?

Answer 22

Smooth, ratcheting, restricted or exhibiting resistance to the motion induced.

Question 23

End feel of range of motion?

Answer 23

Elastic
Abrupt: osteoarthritis or hinge joint
Hard: somatic dysfunction
Empty: Stops due to guarding (patient doesn’t allow the motion due to pain)
Crisp: involuntary muscle guarding as in pinched nerve

Question 24

Static flexibility?

Answer 24

Maximal ROM a joint can achieve with an externally applied force

Question 25

Flexibility?

Answer 25

ROM in a joint or group of joints or the ability to move joints effectively through a complete range of motion

Question 26

Dynamic flexibility?

Answer 26

ROM an athlete can produce and speed at which he/she can produce it

Question 27

What is stiffness

Answer 27

Reduced range of motion of a joint or group of joints
