Define and explain a lever and an anatomic lever.
Lever - two forces (effort and resistance) around a pivot. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class levers.
Most body levers are third class levers - example, swimming. Shoulder is fulcrum and arm is lever.
List, give examples of, and identify types of bones in relation to structure bony shape.
Long bone - longer than it is wide, tube with a bulb. Femur, humerus
Short bone - Cube shape (equal dimensions) Carpals, Tarsals
Flat bone - Broad surface, not thick, curved surface Ileum, Scapula
Irregular bone - Mixed shapes, don’t fit into any other category vertebrae
Sesamoid - Shaped like seame seeds, encased in tendons where they change pull angles Patella
Idenitfy/recognize and define all generic terms related to to surface structures (bony markings) found on bones

List and identify the stuctural components of bone and identify the function for each.
epiphysis is the area at each end of a long bone. Longitudinal growth occurs here
through the manufacturing of new bone.
diaphysis - main shaft, gives bone strength
medullary canal - is hollow, which decreases the weight of the bone. This canal contains marrow and provides passage for nutrient arteries.
endosteum - a membrane that lines the medullary canal. It contains osteoclasts, which are mainly responsible for bone resorption.
periosteum - the thin fibrous membrane covering all of the bone except the articular surfaces that are covered with hyaline cartilage. The periosteum contains nerve and blood vessels that are important in providing nourishment, promoting growth in diameter of immature bone, and repairing the bone. It also serves as an attachment point for tendons and ligaments.
metaphysis - the flared part at each end of the diaphysis, made up mostly of cancellous bone and functions to support the epiphysis.
Define the mechanical axis of bone
Straight line connecting proximal/distal joints.
- Always straight line in sagittal/frontal plane
- Can be from 1 joint to another or multiple joints
List the functions of the skeletal system (6)
- Rigid framework for the human body
- Gives support and shape to the body
- Protects vital organs
- Assists in Movement by serving as the structure for attachment and leverage
- Manufactures blood cells (ilium, vertebra, sternum and ribs)
- Stores calcium and mineral salts








































KYPHOSIS - Define and Discuss
Define and discuss Lordosis
Abnormally increased cruve of the lumbar spine. Layman’s term is “swayback”
Define and discuss scoliosis
Pathological condition - any amount of lateral curve in the spine.
Discuss intervertebral discs
Intervertebral discs articulate and separate the vertebra. Their main function is to transmit shock and maintain flexibility. The disks make up 25% of the vertebral column length
Define Arthrokinematics and how it can be observed
The study of movement occurring within the joints and between the articular surfaces of the bones.
It can be observed by knowing the shape of the articular surfaces and observing the direction of movement of the bone.
Regardless of join classificaiton, the shape of all articular surfaces of synovial joints is..
Give Example.
To varying degrees, either concave or convex, even if the articiulations are classified as a plane.
Example: Acetabulum is concave and femur is convex
Two types of articular motion
Glide (car sliding on an icy surface)
Roll (car tire rolling on the ground)
Decreased motion at a joint is due to _______.
With _______ being more significant.
decreased glide and rolll.
Decreased glide being more significant
The therapist determines the normal direction of glide at a joint for a specific movement by the following 3 things:
- Knowing the shape of the moving articular surface (described at the beginning of each chapter).
- Observing the direction of movement of the bone during the assessment of the PROM.
- Applying the concave–convex rule.
The Concave-Convex rule states that:
a. When a convex joint surface moves on a fixed concave surface, the convex joint surface glides in the opposite direction to the movement of the shaft of the bone.
b. When a concave joint surface moves on a fixed convex surface, the concave joint surface glides in the same direction as the movement of the shaft of the bone
Discuss Spin:
the third type of movement that occurs between articular surfaces is a rotary motion that occurs around an axis.
During normal joint ROM, spin may occur alone or accompany roll and glide.
Spin occurs alone during flexion and extension at the shoulder and hip joints, and pronation and supination at the humeroradial joint.
Spin occurs in conjunction with roll and glide during flexion and extension at the knee joint.
When are the AROM and PROM assessment techniques contraindicated if?
Given an example.
where muscle contraction (i.e., in the case of AROM) or motion of the part (i.e., in the case of either AROM or PROM) could disrupt the healing process or result in injury or deterioration of the condition.
EXAMPLES: 1. If motion to the part will cause further damage or interrupt the healing process immediately after injury or surgery. 2. If the therapist suspects a subluxation or dislocation or fracture.
Take extra care when assessing AROM and PROM when:
- In painful conditions. 2. In the presence of an inflammatory process in a joint or the region around a joint. 3. In patients taking medication for pain or muscle relaxants, because the patient may not be able to respond appropriately and movement may be performed too vigorously. 4. In the presence of marked osteoporosis or in conditions where bone fragility is a factor, perform PROM with extreme care or not at all. 5. In assessing a hypermobile joint. 6. In patients with hemophilia. 7. In the region of a hematoma, especially at the elbow, hip, or knee. 8. In assessing joints if bony ankylosis is suspected. 9. After an injury where there has been a disruption of soft tissue (i.e., tendon, muscle, ligament). 10. In the region of a recently healed fracture. 11. After prolonged immobilization of a part.
Assessment of the AROM can provide the following patient information:
- Willingness to move
- Level of consciousness
- Ability to follow instructions
- Attention span
- Coordination
- Joint ROM
- Movements that cause or increase pain
- Muscle strength
- Ability to perform functional activities
AROM may be decreased due to the following patient factors:
- Unwillingness to move
- Inability to follow instructions
- Restricted joint mobility
- Muscle weakness
- Pain
Assessment of AROM is followed by:
An assessment of PROM and muscle strength.
Assessment of the PROM provides information about the following:
- Amount of movement possible at the joint
- Factors responsible for limiting movement
- Movements that cause or increase pain
PROM is usually _________ than AROM, becuase…
- Greater
- due to the decreased bulk of relaxed muscles - also the presence of muscle weakness
To assess the PROM…
stabilize the proximal joint segment(s) and move the distal joint segment(s) through the full PROM (Fig. 1-25) and do the following:
- Visually estimate the PROM
- Determine the quality of the movement throughout the PROM
- Determine the end feel and factors that limit the PROM
- Note the presence of pain
- Determine whether a capsular or noncapsular pattern of movement is present
The factors that normally limit movement and determine the range of the PROM at a joint include:
- The stretching of soft tissues (i.e., muscles, fascia, and skin)
- The stretching of ligaments or the joint capsule
- The apposition of soft tissues
- Bone contacting bone
The end feel is…
the sensation transmitted to the therapist’s hand at the extreme end of the PROM that indicates the structures that limit the joint movement.18 The end feel may be normal (physiological) or abnormal (pathological).19
