QUIZ 1 Flashcards
Primary mover aka
Agonist aka initiator
What is the primary mover?
Muscle that starts the action of motion at a joint
Secondary mover aka
Synergistic aka facilitator
What is the secondary mover?
Muscle coupled with agonist that finishes the motion
Tertiary mover aka
Antagonist aka Inhibitor
What is the Tertiary mover?
Muscle that stops the action of agonist and synergist
Elbow Flexion
Agonist, Synergist, Antagonist
A - Biceps Brachii (C5) = Elbow Flex
S - Brachioradialis (C6) & Brachialis = EF
Ant - Triceps Brachii (C7) = Elbow extension
Plantar Flexion
-> Agonist, Synergist, Antagonist
A - Gastrocnemius = plant flex
S - Soleus = plant flex
Ant - Tibialis Anterior = Dorsiflexion
Horizontal Adduction
Agonist, Synergist, Antagonist =
A - Pectoralis Major Superior (claviclular division)
S - Corachobrachialis and Anterior Deltoid
Ant - Posterior Deltoid (horizontal abduction)
Hip Abduction
Agonist, Synergist, Antagonist =
A - Gluteus Medius
S - Tensor fascia lata & Gluteus minimus
Ant - Adductor Magnus and others = hip adduction
Shoulder Abduction
Agonist, Synergist, Antagonist =
A - Supraspinatus
S - Middle Deltoid
Ant - Latissimus Dorsi (shoulder adduction)
Supraspinatus =
ABduction
Infraspinatus =
EXternal rotation
Teres Minor =
EXternal rotation
Subscapularis =
INternal rotation
Muscle testing tests muscles _____
Halfway through their ROM
Within normal limits of Muscle testing =
Grade 5 (held in locked position for 3 seconds)
When muscle testing where do you contact?
Distal to insertion
What are the Contraindications for Muscle Testing?
- Fracture
- Resisting over a wound/suture
- Dislocation
- Severe joint instability = sprains/strains
- LESS than 5 years old
When would you CAUTION muscle testing?
- Osteoporosis
- METS
- Suspected fracture
Where is center of gravity?
Slightly anterior to 1st or 2nd sacral tubercle
Planes _______ , Axis is ________
Planes creates the motion, axis is perpendicular angle around which the plane rotates
Every plane and axis are ______
Perpendicular to each other
What are the 3 planes?
- Sagittal / Median
- Divides body into L and R halves
- Frontal / Coronal
- Divides body into anterior and posterior halves
- Transverse / Horizontal
- Divides body into superior/cephalad and inferior/caudal halves
What are 3 axes of Rotation?
- Sagittal plane axis is bilateral AKA coronal (runs medial / lateral)
- Frontal plane axis is AP/Sagittal (runs AP)
- Transverse plane axis is VLP (vertical / longitudinal / polar)
