Test 5 Flashcards
Ligaments:
Tendons:
Fascia:
L: bone to bone
T: muscle to bone
F: muscle to muscle
Articulate surfaces derive nutrients through
Synovial fluid and motion
Covers bone structures and serves as the interface b/w bone and tendon and ligaments
Periosteum
Ligaments heal best
Controlled stress motion
A spongy end feeling would indicate
Torn meniscus
The overlapping work units w/i muscles structures are know as
Sarcomeres
Concentric muscles activity
Accelerates motion
Eccentric muscle activity
Decelerates motion
Majority (60%) of muscles activity during walking is
Eccentric
Joints are held together by
Ligaments
A joint is
The moving point at which bones come together
T OR F: Normal tendons when torn loose by a sudden force, seldom brea in the middle rather, they pull away from bone at the end
TRUE
Joint stability requires:
Adequate strength
Adequate proprioception
Appropriate ROM
Proprioception is
The body’s position sense in space
The Hoffmann’s reflex is the proprioception response
Topical pressure
Adduction- abduction is determined by
Distal segment
For optimum control of motion of a joint, a brace should
Be more than half the length of each of the bones segments of the joint
A partial dislocation is referred to as
Subluxation
The sagittal plane curves in the spine contribute to
Strength and shock absorber qualities
The L5 vertebrae sits on sacrum at a
35°
Trapezius muscle involves in helping control the
Shoulders, cervical spine and throacic spine
The distal margin of the sacrum can be found
At the top of the crease of the buttocks
The intervertebral disc consists of__________ ________ and has a high _______
Annulus fibrosis and nucleus pulposus; water content as acts as a shock absorber
Herniated disc
Causes pressure on spinal nerve root
Measurements needed to select a lumbarsacral support for female?
Waist and hip
The lumbosacral joint is
Fibrocartilage tissue articulation be/w the L5 and the sacrum
