Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
Method of measuring body composition involving using the amount of air displacement during testing within a specialized closed chamber
Plethysmography
A gate pattern where a patient walks on toes as though pushed. It starts slowly, increases, and may continue until the patient grasps an object in order to stop
Festinating
A gate pattern in which the legs cross midline upon advancement
Scissoring
a sudden blow to a part of the body that can result in mild to severe damage to superficial and deep structures
contusion
Functional test of heel walking tests what innervation level level
L4-L5
What size wrap should be used for upper extremity amputations
2-4inch
A grade of fair (3/5) MMT indicates
Completes range against gravity with no resistance
For transfemoral amputations what motion should be promoted
Hip extension
A grade of poor plus (2+/5) MMT indicates
Can initiate movement against gravity
the Taylor Brace is a thoracolumbosacral orthosis that limits ______ through a three point control
flexion and extension
Posterolateral THR precautions
Flex 90
ADD
IR
A gait pattern characterized by staggering and unsteadiness. There’s usually a wide base of support and movements are exaggerated.
Ataxic
an increased volume of fluid in the soft tissue outside of a joint capsule
edema
Precautions for anterooateral approach THR
Flex 90
Extension
ER
ADD
Method of body composition involving immersing a person in water and measuring the amount of water that becomes displaced
Hydrostatic Weighing
For transradial amputations what motion should be promoted
Elbow extension
What size wrap should be used for transfemoral amputations
6inch
A grade of poor minus (2-/5) MMT indicates
Does not complete range of motion in gravity eliminated position
A grade of fair minus (3-/5) indicates
Does not complete ROM against gravity but does more than half the range
A high high-stepping ataxic gait pattern in which the feet flat on the ground
Tabetic
normal Q angles for males and females
male 13
female 18
where does the Milwaukee orthosis run
pelvis to upper chest
what pathology is the Craig-Scott KAFO used for
paraplegia
an increased volume of fluid within a joint capsule
effusion
A grade of poor (2/5 MMT indicates
Completed ROM in gravity eliminated position
Type of joint receptor that is sensitive to tension or stretch on ligaments
Golgi Ligament Endings
A protective gait pattern where the involved side length is decreased in order to avoid weight-bearing on the involved side, usually secondary to pain
Antlagic gait
the three landmarks for Q Angle
midpatella
ASIS
tibial tubercle
Functional testing of straight leg raise measures what level
L4-S1
A grade of good (4/5) indicates
completes ROM against gravity with moderate resistance
A gate pattern that denotes gluteus medias weakness; excessive lateral trunk flexion and weight shifting over the stance leg
Trendelenberg
Type of joint receptor that is sensitive to compression of joint capsule
Golgi-Mazzoni Corpuscles
the Craig-Scott KAFO allows the person to stand with a ______ lean of the trunk
posterior lean
A gate pattern characterized by a circular motion to advance the leg during swing phase; this may be used to compensate for insufficient hip or knee flexion or dorsiflexion
Circumduction
A grade of trace (1/5) MMT indicates
Muscle contraction palpated, but no joint movement
A staggering gait pattern seen in cerebellar disease
Cerebellar
Or gate pattern characterized by high steps; usually involves excessive activity of the gastrocnemius
Equine
Type of joint receptor that is sensitive to stretching of joint capsule, amplitude, and velocity of joint position
Ruffini Endings
A grade of good plus (4+/5) indicates
Completes ROM against gravity with mod/max resistance
A grade of normal (5/5) indicates
ROM against gravity with max resistance
A grade of fair plus (3+/5) indicates
Completes ROM against gravity against on,y minimal resistance
A grade of good minus (4-) indicates
Completes ROM against gravity with min/mod resistance
Type of joint receptor that is sensitive to high frequency vibration, acceleration, and high velocity changes in joint position
Pacinian Corpuscles
A gait pattern with the swing like advances by compensating through the combination of elevation of the pelvis and plantarflexion of the stance leg
Vaulting
A grade of zero for MMT indicates
No palpable muscle contraction
What side of the body should skin fold measurements be taken
Right
What size wrap should be used for transtibial amputation’s
3-4inch
For trans tibial amputations what motion should be promoted
Knee extension
A gate pattern in which alternate Steps are of a different length or at a different rate
Double step
Functional testing of the toe walking tests what level
S1
