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
