29
Q
  • *What are the four primary types of tissue**
  • *in the body?**
A

Connective Tissue
Muscle
Nerve
Epithelium

30
Q
  • *Roll**
  • (in relation to joints)*
A

Happens when one joint surface rolls along another

Ex.) When a tire goes down a road

31
Q
  • *Glide**
  • (in relation to joints)*
A

When one joint surface slides across the surface of another

Ex.) A skidding tire

32
Q

Rolling, spinning, and gliding occur in which packed position?

A

Open Packed Position

33
Q

What type of cartilage reduces friction between joint surfaces?

A

Articular Cartilage

A

Junction is formed by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage, restrained movement: interbody joints of the spine

36
Q

Which two options are correct:

A. My forehead is superior to my mouth.
B. My mouth is superior to my forehead.
C. My shoulder is inferior to my elbow.
D. My elbow is inferior to my shoulder.

A

A. My forehead is superior to my mouth.

&

D. My elbow is inferior to my shoulder.

37
Q

Kinematics

A

motion of the body without regard to force (such as gravity). Includes planes, axes and types of motion

38
Q

Torque

A

The ability of a force to cause rotation on a lever

39
Q

Intra-articular discs are called…

40
Q

Rheumatoid Arthritis

A

Autoimmune, connective tissue disorder. Significant inflammation at the joint capsules, swelling, inflammation

41
Q
  • *Synovial Joints (Diarthroses)**
  • *allow what type of motion?**
A

Moderate to extensive motion

42
Q

True/False

Joint articulation varies depending on the position of the joint.

43
Q

True/False

Rolling, gliding and spinning occur independently

A

False

Rolling, gliding and spinning DO NOT occur independently

Rolling and gliding need to work in tandem to avoid dislocation

44
Q

A

Ligaments
Blood Vessels & Capillaries
Sensory Nerves
Menisci

45
Q

True/False

The biomechanical approach for intervention does not address strength, endurance and range of motion (ROM)

A

False

The biomechanical approach for intervention addresses strength, endurance and range of motion (ROM)

46
Q
  • *Spin**
  • (in relation to joints)*
A

Occurs when one joint surface rotates over the fixed surface of another

Ex.) A tire spinning in place

47
Q
  • *Biaxial Joint**
  • Synovial Joint*
A

Movement is in two planes around two axis with two degrees of freedom

Ex.) MCP joints.

48
Q

What affects Wolff’s Law?

A
  • When bone is stressed, more bone will be laid down. Weight bearing increases bone density.
  • With trauma, excessive bone formation will synthesize; bone spurs may form.
  • Bone loss will occur with chronic unloading.

Clients with spinal cord injuries have reduced bone density
(which will place an individual at risk for fractures).

These are important concepts for rehabilitating individuals who have
sustained trauma and/or immobility.

49
Q
  • *Uniaxial Joint**
  • Synovial Joint*
A

Only one degree of freedom: hinge joints
(rotation is around a single axis)

Ex.) Elbow and knee

50
Q

Open Packed Position

A

The position where the connective tissue structures are the most lax and the joint cavity has the greatest volume.

Joint surfaces are incongruent (minimal overlap)

51
Q

Ligaments

A

Connective tissues that connect bones and protect the joint from excessive movement

52
Q

Third Class Lever

A

Effort is in-between the fulcrum and resistance

Ex.) Elbow- Fulcrum (axis) is the joint, effort is the muscle, and resistance is a handle

53
Q

True/False

In active assistive range of motion, I am moving and someone is moving me.

54
Q

True/False

Articular Cartilage forms the load bearing surfaces of joints

55
Q
  • *Triaxial Joint**
  • *Synovial Joints**
A

Multiple degrees of freedom with distinctly different movements

Ex.) Glenohumeral joint of the shoulder.

56
Q

Joint Pathology

A

Torn or stretched ligaments: go through an inflammatory process. Healing is slow due to poor blood supply.

Bones: heal well, six to eight weeks.

Instability in the joints results in mechanical failure.

57
Q

What type of cartilage is a mixture of dense connective tissue and articular cartilage?

A

Fibrocartilage

58
Q

Biomechanics

A

Describes the application of kinematics and kinetics to the mechanisms of human motion.

59

The biomechanical approach for intervention:

A. Is a theoretical framework for orthopedics
B. Focuses on required body functions and body structures needed for occupation
C. Comprises a more personalized definition of intervention
D. Both A & B

A

D. Both A & B

60
Q

Arthrokinematics Motion

A

The relationship of joint surface motion

61
Q

Closed Kinetic Chain Movement

A

The proximal segment of the joint moves on a fixed distal segment

Ex.) Squats, weight bearing exercises

62
Q

Kinesiology

A

The study of motion and the internal and external forces involved in motion

63
Q

Range of Motion

A

Degrees around an axis of rotation

64
Q
  • *Restoration**
  • *(Remediation)**
A

To restore or remediate client factors that are impaired
