Q

What are the motions in the transverse plane?

A

Internal/external rotation
Horizontal flexion/extension
Supination/pronation
Vertical axis

25
What are degrees of freedom?
Refers to the number of planes within which a joint can move
26
What is it called when motion can only happen about one axis? Give an example.
Uniaxal joint, finger or elbow
27
What is it called when motion can only happen about 2 axis? Give an example
Biaxal joint, saddle joint, metacarpophalangeal
28
What is it called when motion can happen about 3 planes? Give an example
Triaxial or multiaxial Ball and socket joints, like the hip and shoulder
29
What is it called when motion can only happen linear, not angular? Give an example
Nonaxial Intercarpal
30
What is ROM measured by?
Goniometer
31
What point is anatomical position when measuring ROM?
Anatomical position is the zero point
32
What is end feel?
Sensation perceived when passively moving a patient’s joint to the end of its ROM
33
What is expected when at end of normal ROM?
Normal end feel
34
What is abnormal end feel?
When end of ROM is not normal, could be due to swelling, muscle guarding, or changes in anatomy
35
True or false: Everyone has their own end feel
True!
36
What is a soft end feel?
A soft end feel is when the compression of soft tissue halts motion
37
What is it called when the muscle in my bicep prevents me from bending my arm closer?
Soft end feel
38
What is a hard end feel?
Hard end feel is when the bone won't "give," think how the elbow stops when you extend it
39
What is firm end feel?
Firm end feel is tension in structures that limit motion, like trying to touch your toes but you just can't get any further
40
What is empty end feel?
Abrupt halt to motion by patient usually due to pain
41
What is boggy end feel?
Soft or spongy end feel, usually caused by swelling
42
What is muscle spasm?
Reflexive guarding or abnormal muscle tone, acute injury
43
What is springy block?
Internal derangement of a joint, torn cartilage
44
What are two main functions of joints?
Allow motion and provide stability
45
What are synovial joints?
Freely mobile joints that are characterized by the presence of a joint cavity
46
What do ligaments do?
Hold the 2 bones together
47
What does the capsule do in a joint?
Surrounds and encases the joint. Outer layer is fibrous and supports/protects joint
48
What is the synovial membrane of a joint?
The inner layer of the capsule made of thick, vascular connective tissue. Secretes synovial fluid
49
What are the functions of synovial fluid?
To lubricate to reduce friction between the bones and it's a major source of nutrition for cartilage. Also shock absorption
50
What is the bursa in a joint?
Small fluid filled pillow like sacks located here many joints like shoulders, knees, and hips
51
What is disclocation?
Complete separation of joint surfaces
52
What is subluxation?
Partial dislocation
53
What is osteoarthritis?
Wear and tear arthritis
54
What is a sprain?
Tears of ligaments
55
What is a strain?
Overstretching of muscles
56
What are the types of synovial joints?
Plane, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, ball and socket
57
True or false: Ligaments are nonelastic
True
58
What is the difference between active and passive motion?
Active motion is the muscles doing the motion, passive motion is something else moving it for you
