empty end feel

Answer 19

stops due to guarding (patient doesn’t allow the motion due to pain)

Question 20

crisp end feel

Answer 20

involuntary muscle guarding as a pinched nerve

Question 21

flexibility

Answer 21

ROM in a joint or group of joints or the ability to move joints effectively through a complete range of motion

stiffness

Answer 24

reduced ROM of a joint or group of joints

Question 25

functional unit of spine

Answer 25

two vertebrae and their associated disc, neurovascular, and other soft tissues

Question 26

Which section of the spine displays the greatest ROM

Answer 26

cervical spine

Question 27

coupled motion

Answer 27

consistent association of a motion along or about one axis with another motion about or along a second axis

Question 28

What does the coupled motion of the spine serve to protect?

Answer 28

spinal cord

Question 29

linkage

Answer 29

relationship of joint mechanics with surrounding structures to get increased ROM
