Q

AROM

A

Active Range of Motion, when the patient moves their joint in all ranges of motion of that joint.
Used to asses ROM & associated px, take not of % limitations & any px that occurs (location and characteristics)

Q

MMT

A

Manual Muscle Test, used to asses muscle strength & associated px with muscular movements. Position the patient and say “don’t let me move you” as you asses them on a 5/5 scale.

Q

MMT Grading Scale

A

5/5= Normal, complete ROM against gravity w/ full resistance
4/5= Good, complete ROM against gravity that gradually gives in to full resistance
3/5=Fair, complete ROM only against gravity
2/5=Poor, complete ROM w/ gravity eliminated
1/5= Trace, no joint movement w/ evidence of slight contractility
0/5=Zero, no movement, no contractility

24
Q

Yergonson’s Test

A

Assessment for Tenosynovitis or Involvement of Transverse Humeral Ligament
Hold flexed elbow and wrist, external rotate arm and extend elbow as patient resists, palpate the biceps tendon for instability

25
Q

Apprehension Test

A

Assessment for Anterior Shoulder Dislocation Trauma & Posterior Dislocation of Humerus
patient shoulder is abducts and externally rotated, if patient apprehends or alarms & resists further motion test is positive (anterior shoulder dislocation); while lying supine shoulder is flexed & internally rotated, posterior force is applied on elbow (posterior shoulder dislocation)

26
Q

Adson’s Test

A

Neurovascular test for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Patient is seated, locate radial pulse, patients head rotated to face test shoulder and extends head while examiner laterally rotates & extends patients shoulder, patient takes deep breath for 10 seconds. Disappearance of pulse &/or numbness/tingling is abnormal, test is positive

27
Q

Compression Test

A

Neurological test, narrowing of neural foramen, pressure on facet joints or muscle spasms can cause px upon compression & relief w/ distraction.
patient lays supine, support patient’s head and carefully & gradually press down upon top of head, towards feet, look for increased px in cervical spine, distraction test-carefully & gradually lift head and look for decrease of px

28
Q

Chvostek test

A

indicative of low blood calcium, involuntary spasm of facial muscles produced by tapping over the facial nerve near its foraminal exit

29
Q

Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow) Test

A
  • support patient’s flexed elbow and extended wrist, patient tries to keep extended while you try to flex it, px @ lateral epicondyle is positive tst*
  • place patient hand pronated on table, resist 3rd digit extension, asses for px in lateral epicondyle*

Q

What is responsible for elbow flexion, wrist extension & the dermatome on lateral aspect of forearm?

A

C6

31
Q

what is responsible fore the Patellar Reflex

A

L4

32
Q

what innervates the Achilles’ tendon?

A

S1

33
Q

Grading of Deep Tendon Reflexes

A
0-4(+)
0=No response
1=diminished response
2=Normal
3=Brisker than average
4=hyperactive
34
Q

Difference in muscle responses between upper motor neuron lesions and lower motor neuron lesions

A

Upper= muscle tone is spastic, superficial reflexes absent, clonus present, deep tendon reflexes are hyperactive, slight to no loss of muscle mass, positive Babinski test (toe up)

Lower= muscle atrophy, muscle contracture (fibers, groups of fibers, shortened paralyzed muscles), negative Babinski test (toe down), deep tendon reflexes decrease, muscles are flacid

35
Q

what innervates the dorsum of the foot, but is not associated with any deep tendon reflexes

A

L5

36
Q

what is a positive Babinski test?

A

extension of the big toe

37
Q

what is PROM mainly used for?

A

Joints & bones

38
Q

how do you asses the normal span of the mouth

A

fingers

39
Q

how does rheumatoid arthritis manifest?

A

poly arthropathy & inflammation

40
Q

Kyphosis

A

flexion deformity found in the thoracic and sacrum

41
Q

lordosis

A

is also called swayback, is an extension deviation, commonly found in the lumbar area
