Objective assessment Flashcards
contractile structures
1.) Muscles
2.) Tendons
Non- contractile structures
1.) Ligaments
2.) joint capsule
3.) fascia
4.) cartilage
5.) Bursae
how use Passive ROM to differientiate a structure
pain during passive movement suggests issues with non-contractile structures
how use resisted tests to differiantiate structures
pain during resisted contraction indicates problems with contractile structures
Sensitivity
helps identify individuals with specific conditions + a test with high sensitivity is useful for ruling out conditions when the result is negative
Specificity
Helps confirm presence of a condition when result is positive + tests with high specificity are useful ruling in conditions
