18
Q

A technique where manual resistance is applied on the limb after it has completed available ROM or after the examiner
has positioned the limb until it “breaks”. It allows time for the patient to establish maximum contraction prior to resistance application.

A

Break test

19
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Pain should not be elicited during MMT

A

True

20
Q

A technique where the application of manual resistance is against an actively contracting muscle or muscle group, all throughout the ROM. The resistance is gradual, increasing until motion ceases.

A

Active resistance technique

21
Q

If the pt can do full ROM, the minimum grade given to the muscle is ___

A

2+/5

22
Q

Muscle grade: partial ROM in a gravity-minimized position. No resistance given.

A

2-/5

23
Q

Muscle grade: at least 50% ROM in a gravity-resisted position. No resistance given.

A

2+/5

24
Q

Muscle grade: full ROM in a gravity-resisted position. Minimal resistance is given.

A

3+/5

25
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: For patients with LOM, their available ROM taken during the ROM measurement is considered the full ROM (normal ROM) during MMT for that PT session.

A

True

26
Q

Facial & Tongue Muscle Strength Grade: Moderate impairment; asymmetry in terms of muscle movement.

A

WF (Weak Functional)

27
Q

Facial & Tongue Muscle Strength Grade: Severe impairment; little movement compared to the functional side.

A

NF (Non-Functional)

28
Q

Facial & Tongue Muscle Strength Grade: Normal / slight impairment.

A

F (Functional)

29
Q

TRUE OR FALSE: For the hand, ankle, and foot muscles, the force is minimal so effect of gravity is usually not considered. Thus, only 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are the grades used.

A

True

30
Q

5/5 muscle grade for gastrocnemius & soleus muscles: __ full heel raises

A

25 for gastroc
20 for soleus

31
Q

4/5 muscle grade for gastrocnemius & soleus muscles: __ full heel raises

A

10-24 for gastroc
10-19 for soleus

32
Q

3/5 muscle grade for gastrocnemius & soleus muscles: __ full heel raises

A

1-9

33
Q

In MMT, the examiner always starts at grade __

A

3/5

Progress to 4 and 5 or if grade 3 was not reached, move to 2

Q

Portable devices placed between the examiner’s hand and patient’s body that measure mechanical force at the point of application and are used in assessing grip strength.

A

Hand-held dynamometry

38
Q

Test done by pushing against resistance in maximal isometric contraction

A

Make test

39
Q

Stationary, electromechanical devices that
control the velocity of a moving body segment by resisting and measuring the patient’s effort so that the body segment cannot accelerate beyond the preset angular velocity. It is used for large, strong muscle groups and measures torque (Nm) and for muscle power and muscle
endurance.

A

Isokinetic Dynamometry

40
Q

it is done to test the power of the quadriceps by explosive jumping

A

Vertical jump test

41
Q

Ability to change the direction of the body in an efficient and effective manner. It requires strength, balance, speed, coordination.

A

Agility

42
Q

An agility test done by asking the patient to run around the box in 8-figures. It is commonly used in athletes and done in different sports.

A

Illinois Agility Run Test

43
Q

An endurance test done by measuring the number of sit-ups made in 30 seconds (as many as possible)

A

NCF Abdominal Conditioning Test
