1
Q

The positioning of the musculoskeletal system while the body is motionless.

A

Static posture

2
Q

Alignment of the body while in motion.

A

Dynamic posture

3
Q

Moving in a biomechanically efficient manner that maximizes muscle recruitment and minimizes risk of injury.

A

Optimal movement

4
Q

Abnormal movement patterns that can indicate possible muscle imbalances or mobility limitation.

A

Movement impairments

5
Q

An assessment of a client’s movement patterns and postural alignment during movement or activity; also known as a dynamic postural assessment.

A

Movement assessment

6
Q

When muscles on each side of a joint have altered length-tension relationships.

A

Muscle imbalance

7
Q

Optimal flexibility and joint range of motion; ability to move freely.

A

Mobility

8
Q

Performance assessment

A

Assessments use to measure overall strength, muscular endurance, power, and agility.

9
Q

Collapsed arch of the foot; also known and flat feet.

A

Pes planus

10
Q

When elevated neural drive causes a muscle to be held in a chronic state of contraction.

A

Overactive

11
Q

When a muscle is experiencing neural inhibition and limited neuromuscular recruitment.

A

Underactive

12
Q

An assessment that provides insight to deviations from optimal alignment of the body in a standing posture.

A

Static Postural assessment

13
Q

On the front of the body.

A

Anterior

14
Q

On the back of the body.

A

Posterior

15
Q

The five areas of the body that are monitored during movement assessments and exercise; foot/ankle, knees, lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, shoulders, and head.

A

Kinetic chain checkpoints

16
Q

An excessive forward rotation of the pelvis that results in greater lumbar lordosis.

A

Anterior pelvic tilt

17
Q

Knees collapse inward (knock knees) due to hip adduction and internal rotation; also known as medial knee displacement and genu valgum.

A

Knee valgus

18
Q

Knees bow outward (bowlegged); also known as genu varum.

A

Knee varus

19
Q

Postural syndrome characterized by flat feet, knee valgus, and adducted and internally rotated hips.

A

Pes planus distortion syndrome

20
Q

Postural syndrome characterized by anterior pelvic tilt and excessive lordosis of the lumbar and spine.

A

Lower crossed syndrome

21
Q

The normal curvature of the cervical and lumbar spine regions, creating a concave portion of the spine.

A

Lordotic/Lordosis

22
Q

Postural syndrome characterized by a forward head and protracted shoulders.

A

Upper crossed syndrome

23
Q

A movement assessment designed to assess dynamic posture, core stability, and neuromuscular control of the whole body during a squatting motion.

A

Overhead squat assessment (OHSA)

24
Q

A movement assessment that assesses dynamic posture, lower-extremity strength, balance, and overall coordination in a single-limb stance.

A

Single-leg squat assessment

25
Q

An assessment that challenges the upper extremities and trunk during a pushing movement to identify movement impairments and potential muscle imbalances.

A

Pushing assessment

26
Q

An assessment that challenges the upper extremities and trunk during a pulling movement to identify movement impairments and potential muscle imbalances.

A

Pulling assessment

27
Q

A performance assessment that measures muscular endurance of the upper extremities during a pushing movement.

A

Push-up test
