Which test would you use to confirm the existence of a muscle strain?
MRT
Define contralateral.
The opposite side
Define ipsilateral.
The same side.
Define ventral.
The belly or toward the belly surface; same as anterior
Define lateral.
A position farther from the midline of the body.
Define medial.
Closer to the midline of the body.
Define dorsal.
The back or a position toward the back surface; same as posterior.
List the three muscles in the erector spinae group from lateral to medial.
Iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis. (They are in alphabetical order.)
True or false:
When treating longus coli, having clients rotate their head makes the treatment easier.
False
True or false:
When treating longus coli, therapist need to keep their fingers close to but not on the carotid artery.
True
True or false:
When treating longus coli, therapists need to be extremely careful when moving the trachea and esophagus.
True
Before working on longus coli, therapists need to move/stabilize/compress the trachea.
Move the trachea.
True or false:
Before working on longus coli, therapists Will move the carotid artery aside with one hand and treat with the other hand.
False
Hypertrophy of coracobrachialis can lead to impingement of the ________________ .
Musculotendinous nerve.
Which location it is important to avoid pressing on while doing origin and insertion work on the scalene’s?
Lateral aspect of the cervical transverse processes.
True or false:
When working on the neck in the supine position, it is important to make sure the neck is in slight extension, making the chin higher than the forehead.
False.
What are the five adductors located along the medial thigh between the hamstrings and quadriceps femoris muscles?
