BIOMECHANICAL FOR

Question 1

is based on the principles of anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system, kinetics, kinematics, and certain physiological processes

Answer 1

Biomechanical Frame of Reference

Question 2

the study of how forces produce motion in body parts

Answer 2

kinetics

Question 3

study of motion of body parts in time

Answer 3

kinematics

Question 4

such as tissue healing, exercise physiology, and energy cost of activities as together

Answer 4

physiological processes

Question 5

is the arc of motion through which a joint moves that is determined by the underlying structure of the joint (i.e., bones and ligaments) and the integrity of the surrounding capsule

Answer 5

Joint range of motion (ROM)

Question 6

The PRIMARY FACTORS considered under the Biomechanical FOR

Answer 6

1. Joint range of motion
2. Muscle strength
3. Endurance

Question 7

is the ability to sustain muscle and cardiorespiratory activity and determines the extent to which a person can do tasks that make up occupations

Answer 7

Endurance

Question 8

is the power of a muscle to resist movement

Answer 8

Muscle strength

Question 9

A person is _______ when motion are intact and within normal limits for one’s age, gender, and physical characteristics to produce stability and movement.

Answer 9

functional

Question 10

These compromised capacities considered under the Biomechanical FOR

Answer 10

(1) limitations in movement
(2) inadequate muscle strength
(3) decreased endurance

Question 10

occurs when a person is unable to generate and/or sustain the stability or movement needed to perform their occupations due to compromised musculoskeletal capacities due to disease or trauma, or disuse or overuse

Answer 10

dysfunction

Question 11

ROM is measured in degrees of movement using

Answer 11

goniometer

Question 12

voluntarily done

Answer 12

active

Question 13

an external force is moving the segment

Answer 13

passive

Question 14

Muscle strength is normally tested as maximum tension produced under

Answer 14

voluntary control

Question 15

The most commonly used assessment for strength is __________ wherein the therapist tests the ability of the person to produce resistance and/or movement under standardized circumstances.

Answer 15

manual muscle testing (MMT)

Question 16

for grip strength

Answer 16

hand dynamometers

Question 17

pinch strength

Answer 17

pinch gauges

Question 18

can be compromised by inactivity, immobilization, cardiorespiratory deconditioning, muscular deconditioning, and diminished flexibility

Answer 18

Endurance

Question 19

Endurance can be measured

Answer 19

dynamically or statically

Question 20

can become a barrier to the use of biomechanical capacities for occupational performance

Answer 20

Pain

Question 21

3 factors of endurance

Answer 21

intensity, duration, and frequency

Question 22

may be reported through pointing, verbal expression, or marking areas in a diagram

Answer 22

Location

Question 23

may be rated on a numerical or visual scale

Answer 23

Intensity

Question 24

Interventions of Biomechanical FOR

Answer 24

1. Establish and restore
2. Maintain
3. Prevent

Question 25

of edematous body segments through wrapping or bandaging reduces edema associated
with limitations in ROM

Answer 25

Compression

Question 26

through handling, bracing, or splinting facilitate functional movement

Answer 26

Positioning

Question 27

are external devices that are applied to the body to immobilize, restrain, or support injured tissues

Answer 27

Splints and orthotics

Question 28

through the full range of ROM is recommended twice daily

Answer 28

Active or passive movement

Question 29

to create non-injurious tension on muscles and tendon can result to passive stretching of joint structures

Answer 29

Therapeutic handling or external devices

Question 30

activities must be graded by positioning materials and equipment to demand greater reach in order to create challenge to the joint structures

Answer 30

active stretching

Question 31

For some clients whose decreased motion is due to scar tissue or pain

Answer 31

physical agent modalities

Question 32

is often used to stimulate muscle contractions and increase the firing of additional motor
units to increase strength

Answer 32

Resistance

Question 33

are used to stress muscles to the point of fatigue

Answer 33

Exercises
