Muscle Shortness Flashcards
The weak deep neck flexor is antagonist to which muscle
Tight upper trapezius and levator scapula
Which test is for hip flexors(illiopsoas muscle)
Modified thomas test
The modified thomas test is to measure which muscle
iliacus, psoas major rector femoris and tensiofacialatae and iliotibial band
Thomas test asses which muscle
Tensofacialatae , illiotibial band , psaos major and iliacus
Tightness in the hip flexors limit what rom(range of motion)
Hyperextension in gait and it may lead to anterior pelvic tilt
Weakness of the gluteus maximus is due to?
Facilitation of the hip flexors
Which test is used for quadriceps femoris
Elys test
What test is used for tensor fascia latae muscle
Ober test
Function of the iliopsaos muscle
Hip flexion
Function of the rectus femoris muscle
Hip flexion and knee extension
Function of tensor facia latae
Hip flexion and abduction
In Test for hamstring what’s the normal degree
90
Less than 70 degree of hip flexion shows what
Loss of hamstring length
An increased angle dorsiflexion following the knee flexion s in
indicates tightnes in the gastrocnemius but if there’s no change the soleus is tight
Test to assess muscle strength
Ensure maximal lengthning from origin to insertion
Firmly stablize one end
Slowly elongate the muscles
Assess the end feel
