Vasoconstriction alternated with vasodilation in irregular repeated sequences when the fingers are exposed to cold is known as the:
Hunting reaction
The groove formed by the spinous and transverse processes in the thoracic and lumbar region of the spine is called:
Lamina groove
An example of a somatic reflex is:
The stretch reflex
One way to establish professional boundaries and keep sessions client-focused and goal-focused is:
To follow consistent documentation procedures
Where is the most appropriate place to state the practitioner’s zero-tolerance policy on sexual behavior?
Informed consent form
Beliefs that hold emotional worth, define character, and guide actions are known as:
Values
Upholding appropriate sexual boundaries is an example of an ethical:
Principle
The amount of resistance the tissue exhibits in response to a load is called:
Tissue stress
The sternocleidomastoid muscles, upper trapezius, suboccipitals, levator scapulae, scalenes, and pectoralis major and minor are likely to be hypertonic with these related postural dysfunctions:
Hyperkyphosis and head-forward position
Muscles that are likely short and hypertonic when a lateral pelvic tilt is observed include:
Gluteus medius, quadratus lumborum, and abductors on the side with the elevation
Which type of ROM tests the quality of inert tissues such as joint capsules, ligaments, and cartilage?
Passive range of motion
To be measurable, a goal must be:
Quantified and qualified to demonstrate progress
When massage is used as a tool to induce a positive effect in a client’s entire system and general well-being, this is referred to as:
Therapeutic change
A muscle (like the biceps brachii), with parallel fibers that are wide in the belly and culminate in a cord-like tendon are called
Fusiform muscle
Which of the following is NOT considered a type of fascia?
Mesomysium
The palpable characteristics of a certain tissue (e.g., texture, consistency, and density, etc.).
Tissue quality
The tactile sensation of palpating tissue (e.g., grainy, ropey, smooth, dense, etc.)
Tissue texture
A compound synovial gliding joint composed of the talonavicular joint (located between the talus and the navicular bone) and the calcaneocuboid joint (located between the calcaneus and cuboid bones); allows pronation and supination. Through its close relationship with the subtalar joint, the transverse tarsal joints also allow inversion, eversion, abduction, and adduction.
Transverse tarsal joint
A term to describe the architecture of a muscle and referring to muscles with fibers oriented at one fiber angle on the same side of a tendon (e.g., extensor digitorum longus).
Unipennate muscle
A joint that involves two bones, in contrast to a compound joint that involves three or more bones.
Simple joint
Characteristics of joint movement (e.g., does the movement feel jumpy, jarring, smooth; is there crepitus in the joint, etc.)
Quality of movement
A term to describe the architecture of a muscle and referring to muscles with fibers that run at oblique angles to their central tendons, resembling a feather. Pennate muscles can be unipennate, bipennate, or multipennate.
Pennate muscle
Muscle fibers that have properties of both fast- and slow-twitch fibers; they have more endurance than fast fibers.
Intermediate fibers
term to describe the architecture of a muscle and referring to muscles with parallel fibers that are wide in the belly and tapered on the ends, culminating in long cord-like tendons (e.g., biceps brachii).
Fusiform muscle
