Questions 1 Flashcards
What types of joints has the greatest potential for movement?
Diathrosis
What is the first consideration in the biomechanical frame of reference?
Structural stability
What is a synovial joint?
Diathrosis
What has articular capsule, synovial movement, synovial fluid, capsular ligaments and blood vessels?
Diathrosis
What junction between bones that is stabilized by dense connective tissue and allows little to no movement?
Fibrous synathrosis
What junction between bones that is stabilized by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage?
Cartilaginous synarthosis
What has one degree of freedom, humero-ulnar joint; interphalangeal joints?
hinge joint
What is rotation of a bone around an axis that goes through it; humeroradial joint, atlanto-axial joint?
Pivot joint
What is has two degrees of freedom, radiocarpal joint?
Ellipsoid joint
What has three degrees of freedom, glenohumeral joint, hip joint?
ball and socket joint
What has flat surfaces sliding or rotating on each other, intercarpal joints?
plane joint
What each joint surface is concave in one plane and convex in a perpendicular plane; thumb carpometacarpal joint, sternoclavicular joint
saddle joint
What has two degrees of freedom, metacarpophalangeal joints, knee joint?
Condyloid joint
What is the amount of force generated by a single muscle contraction?
muscle strength
How should you apply resistance or pressure during manual muscle testing?
Gradually increasing over a few seconds to allow the client to recruit all motor units.
If a client is instructed to move a limb in a motion that goes parallel to the floor (around an axis that is perpendicular to the floor) this is a manual muscle test that is?
gravity minimized
What if your client can move a limb through full AROM against gravity, but can take no resistance, their muscle grade would be?
3/5
What body parts does the therapist use for palpation of a client?
The pads of the index and middle fingers (sometimes thumb)
What is the resistance that the therapist feels at the end of passive range of motion’;
end feel
What does the first number usually mean when recording ROM measurements?
The closest the client can get to an anatomic position
In the biomechanical frame of reference when does edema reduction get addressed?
before range of motion and before strengthening
