name the disease
pathophysiology
What is Kinesiopathology?
atypical position or motion
How can you evaluate for kinesiopathology?
history, static/motion palpation, ROM, posture, imaging
How can you evaluate for kinesiopathology?
history, static/motion palpation, ROM, posture, imaging
What is myopathology?
muscular dysfunction resulting in hypo/hyper tonicity
How can you evaluate for myopathology?
history, palpation, motor exam, posture, studies (EMG)
What is neuropathology?
dysfunction or disease of the nervous system
How can you evaluate for neuropathology?
history, instrumentation, deep tendon reflexes, sensory/motor exams, studies (imaging, NVC)
What is histopathology?
disease or dysfunction at a cytogenic level
How can you evaluate for histopathology?
history, palpation, imaging, blood chemistry
