Musculoskeletal Assessment Flashcards
joint movement: Retraction and protraction-
moving backward and
forward
joint movement: flexion
bending
joint movement: extension
straightening
joint movement: circumduction
moving in a circular motion
joint movement: abduction
moving away from midline
joint movement: adduction
moving toward midline
joint movement: pronation
turning downward
joint movement: supination
turning upward
muscle strength scale 0/5
absent
muscle strength scale 1/5
Trace- no joint movement and minimal muscle
contraction
muscle strength scale 2/5
Poor- passive ROM only
muscle strength scale 3/5
Fair- competes ROM against gravity only
muscle strength scale 4/5
good- complete ROM against moderate resistance
muscle strength scale 5/5
normal moves joints though full range of motion(ROM)
against resistance
