Question 20

selective tension testing

Answer 20

method of identifying tendinopathy

Question 21

selective tension testing looks at

Answer 21

which tendon (s) involved?

how severe?

Question 22

what does selective tension testing concentrate on

Answer 22

response to resistance to determine which tendon is involved and how severe

Question 23

what is cyriax –> selective tension testing

Answer 23

dx of muscle/tendon dysfxn via selective tension (isometrics)

Question 24

cyriax concentrated on

Answer 24

response to resistance

Question 25

start position --> cyriax

Answer 25

must be pain free

Question 26

procedure of cyriax

Answer 26

apply isometric resistance to muscle/tendon around the painful joint

what should we asses --> cyriax

Answer 27

response to resistance pain is either mild, moderate or severe
