test and measurement Flashcards
Thomas test is for
hip flexors
Ober test
TFL
test for quadriceps
Ely’s test
degree for scapular portion
90
135
strenal portion
hallux valgus
lateral deviation of 1st metatarsal
claw toes
proximal interphalangeal
distal interphalangeal
hammer toes
barrel chest
increased antero-posterior diameter of the ribcage
stretched intercostals and anterior chest muscles
excavatum
funnel chest/caved in appearance
cavinatum
pigeon chest
muscle affected in winging of scapular
Serratus anterior
plumbline
used to determine gravity line passes in standing position
aphasia
language impairment/loss of speech
dysphasia
moderate loss of speech
dysphonia
raspy or breathy voice
aphonia
no voice
1st class lever
load =head
fulcrum=neck
force=neck muscles
2nd lever
fu=toes
L=weight
Fo=calf
3rd lever
fu=elbow
fo= biceps
l=any weight carried on hand
somatometry
measure of body parts except head
measure of head
cephalometry
waist to hip ratio
for men if less than 0.9 low risk, 0.9 to 0.99 moderate risk but if 1 and over high risk of health problems due to weight
for female 0.8
true length
from ASIS to medial malleoli
apparent length
from midpoint to medial malleoli
what is posture
placement of each part of the body in the most appropriate position
postural reflex arc
Afferent= from eyes, vestibular apparatus and proprioceptive system
integrating system= formed by neural networks in brain and spinal cord
efferent= alpha motor neurons
mechanoreceptors
muscle spindle
Golgi tendon organs
labyrinthine
righting reflex=corrects orientation of the body
vestibular ocular reflex
stabilize gaze during head movements
antigravity muscles definition
are muscles involved in stabilizing of joint or other body parts by opposing gravity
antigravity muscles
extensors
multipennate
slow twitch
aerobic type
contract long time
generate force rather than velocity
good posture
max efficiency
min effort
body types
endomorphy= fat
mesomorphy
ectomorphy
reference point for line of gravity
head=ear lobe
shoulder=acromion
trunk= midline
hip=greater trochanter
knee=patella
ankle= 3 to 3.5 anterior to lateral malleoli
Feiss line
on ankle to test pes planus, flat foot etc
knee hyperextension
genu recurvatum
anterior tilt
tight/shorten hip flexors
posterir tilt
tight hamstring and glutes max
scoliosis
abnormal lateral curvature of spine at least 10 degrees
gibbosity
humpback
tonic
slow contracion
long durability
phasic
quick contraction
short durability
muscle length testing
elongating the muscle to the direction opposite to its function
slide /glide
translatory movement
roll
rolling/ rotatory movement
spin
rotary movement
movement of shaft of bones on cardinal planes with corresponding axes
osteokinematics
arthrokinematics
movements of joint surfaces
ROM
arc of motion that occurs at a joint or series of joints
muscle strength
force production
voluntary exertion
result in isotonic or isometric
gross indicator of functional mobility
muscle endurance
repeated contraction
isometric
factors affecting M.strenght
fiber arrangements
fiber types
age
gender
speed of contraction
fiber recruitments
causes of M.weakness
pain
strain
rupture
psychological overlay
immobilization
UMNL
muscle strength testing methods
manual
instrumental
functional
limitations of MMT
pain+ swelling
umnl
understanding command
subjectively
type of contraction
gives knowledge of strength only not endurance
upper cross syndrome
tight pectoralis = weak lower trapezius and serratus anterior
tight levator scapular + upper trapezius = weak deep neck flexors
lower cross syndrome
tight erector spinae=weak abdominals
tight iliopsoas = weak gluteus max
