Segmental: C7 on T1

Question 10

limit of motion imposed by anatomic structure; limit of passive motion

Answer 10

anatomic barrier

Question 11

limit of active motion

Answer 11

physiologic

range between the physiologic and anatomic barrier of motion in which passive ligamentous stretching occurs before tissue disruption

Answer 12

elastic

Question 13

permanant restriction of joint motion associated with pathologic change of tissues

Answer 13

pathologic

Question 14

functional limit with the anatomic ROM, which abnormally diminishes the normal physiologic range

Answer 14

restrictive

Question 15

motion has what 3 qualities?

Answer 15

direction, range, and quality

Question 16

elastic end feel

Answer 16

normal

Question 17

abrupt end feel

Answer 17

osteoarthritis

Question 18

hard end feel

Answer 18

somatic dysfunction

Question 19

empty end feel

Answer 19

stop due to pain

Question 20

crisp end feel

Answer 20

involuntary muscle guarding

Question 21

rubbery or bouncy end feel

Answer 21

viscerosomatic reflex: pain moves to chest wall, kicks on sympathetics; (Example: Hx of GERD: T5-9)

Question 22

firm end feel

Answer 22

microtrauma (ex overuse)

Question 23

sloppy end feel

Answer 23

ligamentous laxity

Question 24

Two types of flexibility

Answer 24

Static and dynamic

Question 25

maximal ROM a joint can achieve with an externally applied force

Answer 25

static flexibility

Question 26

ROM an athlete can produce and speed at which they can produce it

Answer 26

dynamic flexibility

Question 27

physical measurement of reduced ROM of a joint or group of joints

Answer 27

stiffness

Question 28

relationship of joint mechanics with surrounding structures

Answer 28

linkage; linking together will increase ROM
