Q

what is the difference between range of joint motion & range of muscle length?

A

range of joint motion is mobility (e.g. hypermobility/hypomobility) and range of muscle length is the length of a muscle at a joint/joints

25
which type of muscle can shorten through a full ROM?
a 1-joint muscle; 2-joint muscles can't contract through full ROM
26
normal ROM for ER
90 degrees
27
4+
mod-strong pressure
28
factors affecting muscle flexibility & extensibility (5)
(1) prolonged immobilization, (2) restricted joint mobility, (3) neuromuscular diseases, (4) traumatic tissue pathology, (5) connective tissue diseases
29
normal ROM for shoulder flexion
180 degrees
30
2
full ROM in gravity eliminated position
31
normal ROM for cervical flexion
40 degrees
32
0
no movement or contraction
33
clinically, which side do you test first?
uninvolved side
34
what is normal muscle length
has the flexibility and extensibility required to allow normal joint motion
35
3
against gravity (Full ROM); no pressure applied
36
when measuring ROM, what is done to the distal segment of joint?
taken through full range of motion
37
normal ROM for shoulder abduction
180 degrees
38
MLT involves elongating the muscle in what direction?
direction opposite of its action
39
normal ROM for cervical rotation
50 degrees
40
hard end feel
bone/cartilage
41
pennate muscles
fibers run obliquely (ex. rectus femoris)
42
what are the terms associated with muscle strength grading?
``` 5 - normal 4 - good 3 - fair 2 - poor 1 - trace 0 - none ```
43
what concept is important to consider to 2-joint muscle when measuring muscle length?
passive insufficency; 2-joint muscles do not have sufficient extensibility to lengthen through full ROM for both joints simultaneously
44
3+
minimal pressure
45
Arthrokinematic
occurs at joint surface, can't be seen
46
passive insufficiency
full range of motion of a joint is limited due to the length of the muscle (as opposed to ligaments or structural inhibition)
47
4-
min-moderate pressure
48
Inclinometer
similar to a level, uses air or liquid
49
pseudomyostatic contracture
muscle maintained in a central nervous system pathology that is maintaining the muscle in a constant state of contracture (causes increased tone)
50
break test
when examiner applies external pressure to force patient to | give in during muscle testing
51
2+
full ROM gravity eliminated with minimal resistance OR partial ROM against gravity
52
what are 4 ways to maximize reliability?
always use the same instrument, position, procedure & examiner
53
purpose of MMT (3)
(1) detect weakness, (2) detect imbalances, (3) determine ability of muscles to function in movement and provide stability and support
54
myostatic contracture
The adaptive shortening of the muscle, leading to tightness (no pathology, could be as a result of poor posture)
55
fan-shaped muscles
fibers arranged side by side (ex. pec major)
56
what can cause weakness? (5)
nerve involvement, disuse atrophy, stretch weakness, pain, fatigue
57
fusiform muscles
parallel fibers with flat tendons (ex. biceps)
58
active insufficiency
when a two joint muscle is no longer able to generate an effective force due to being placed in a fully shortened position
59
how do you isolate the 1 joint muscle in MMT?
put the two joint muscle on slack
60
stationary arm
parallel to stationary segment
61
scar tissue adhesions
connective tissue bound down to each other
62
when measuring ROM, what is done to the proximal segment of joint?
stabalize
63

70 degrees
64
axis/fulcrum
in line with axis of motion
65

passive
67
how is strength affected by muscle length?
length tension relationship
