22
Q

ROM assessments

A

Used to determine the presence or absense of pain limiting movement.

23
Q

ROM limiting barriers

A

Physiologic, anatomic and restrictive.

24
Q

Physiologic ROM limiting barrier

A

Limit caused by reaching the elastic limits of the soft tissues surrounding a joint.

25
Q

Anatomic ROM limiting barrier

A

Limit caused by the shaped of the bones or joint.

26
Q

Restrictive or pathologic ROM barrier

A

Caused by pathology or structural anomaly ie) contracture, one spur

27
Q

End-feel

A

The quality of resistance felt by the practitioner at the end of the passive ROM

28
Q

Normal end-feel is determined by what?

A

The type of joint in question

29
Q

Hard-end feel

A

Feels rigid or abrupt. Occurs when bone on bone contact limits movement.

30
Q

Example of joint movement which have hard end-feel

A

Extension of the elbow

31
Q

Soft end-feel

A

Feels spongey. Occurs when motion is limited by increased resistance from the muscles or skin.

32
Q

Examples of joint movement with soft end-feel

A

Elbow or knee flexion

33
Q

Firm end-feel

A

Feels firm yet elastic. Occurs when motion is limited by joint capsules or ligaments.

34
Q

Examples of joints with firm end-feel

A

FInger joints

35
Q

Empty end-feel

A

Accurs when no end-feel data can be gathered because pain occurs before the end of the ROM

36
Q

Vertical anterior landmarks in a postural analysis

A

Nasal septum, manubrium, umbilicus, pubic symphisis

37
Q

Symmetry points in an anterior postural assessment

A

Acromion, iliac crests, ASIS, greater trochanters, finger tips, patellae, fibular heads, malleoli

38
Q

Vertical posterior landmarks in postural analysis

A

Occipital protuberance, spinous processes, sacral tubercles, coccyx

39
Q

Symmetry points in a posterior postural assessment

A

Mastoid, base of occiput, scapula, PSIS, greater trochanters, medial malleoli, calcanei

40
Q

Vertical landmarks in a lateral postural assessment

A

External auditory meatus, humeral head, greater trochanter, lateral epicondyles and lateral malleoli.

41
Q

What else should be observed in a lateral postural assessment?

A

Head and shoulder position, spinal abnormalities, pelvic tilt.

42
Q

Genu valgum

A

Knock knees

43
Q

Genu varum

A

Bow-legged

44
Q

Gait cycle

A

All of the actions between when one foot contacts the ground and when that foot contacts the ground again.

45
Q

Stance phase

A

60% of the gait cycle, includes heel strike, flat foot or loading response, midstance and heel off or terminal stance

46
Q

Swing phase

A

40% of the gait cycle, includes toe-off or pre-swing, foot adjacent or initial swing, leg vertical or mid-swing and the next heel strike

47
Q

Antalgic gait

A

Limp to avoid pain on weight bearing structures. Walking hesitancy and short stance phase.

48
Q

Ataxic gait

A

Unsteady, uncoordinated gate with feet thrown out an irregular foot placement.

49
Q

Ataxic gate is characterized by what?

A

Cerebellar or sensory disturbances

50
Q

Hemiplegic gate

A

Decreased walking speed with asymmetric step length and decreased time in the stance phase.

51
Q

Hemiplegic gait is associated with what?

A

Stroke

52
Q

Propulsive gait

A

Stooped, rigid posture with the head and neck bent forward. Steps are shorter and faster.

53
Q

Propulsive gait is associated with what?

A

Parkinson disease

54
Q

Shuffling gait

A

Feet drag and shuffle with short steps.

55
Q

Shuffling gait is associated with what?

A

Parkinson disease

Knees and thighs cross in a scissor-like pattern

57
Q

Scissor gait is associated with what?

A

Cerebral palsy

58
