- condyloid- fingers and wrists

36
Q

active vs passive ROM

A

active is what the patient can do for themselves, passive is what motion can be done with assistance.

37
Q

muscle grade assessment

A
  • grades 0-5
  • 0 no activation
    -5 full ROM against full resistance
  • grade 3 or lower indicates a disability (full ROM against gravity but not against resistance)
38
Q

TMJ ROM

A
  • should be a gap of 3-6 CM between upper and lower teeth (back by the joint)

39
Q

pregnancy changes MSK and why does this happen?

A
  • lordosis or inward curvature of the lumbar spine
  • relaxing of the pelvic muscles and ligaments to change the pelvic angle
  • happens for the body to naturally re-establish its center line of gravity as the abdomen grows in size and wt.
  • carpal tunnel syndrome from swelling of the extremities from fluid retention (usually goes away after 6 mo post baby)
40
Q

older adults MSK considerations

A
  • takes more time to examine
  • need to assess motor skills for functional abilities
  • posture changes (kyphosis)
  • bones are more spread apart on hands and feet and more pressed together vertically (height)
    -muscle mass production
41
Q

specialized tests for adult musculoskelatal
