Week 6

Question 1

MMT levels

Answer 1

0 - no visible contraction

1 - visible muscle contraction with no movement

2 - partial range of motion

3 - full range of motion (against 0 resistance)

4 - full range of motion against partial resistance

5 - full range of motion against maximum resistance

Question 2

where do you put the fulcrum, stationary arm, and moving arm of the goniometer for hip abduction?

Answer 2

fulcrum: ASIS

stationary arm: extending from one ASIS to the other

moving arm: aligned with anterior midline of femur and midline of patella

Question 3

where do you put the fulcrum, stationary arm, and moving arm of the goniometer for hip flexion?

Answer 3

fulcrum: greater trochanter

stationary arm: lateral midline of pelvis

moving arm: lateral midline of femur and lateral femoral condyle

Question 4

where do you put the fulcrum, stationary arm, and moving arm of the goniometer for knee flexion/extension?

Answer 4

fulcrum: lateral femoral condyle

stationary arm: lateral midline of femur and greater trochanter

moving arm: lateral midline of fibula and lateral malleolus and fibula

Question 5

What are the benefits of ROM and strength testing (MMT)

Answer 5

1) To set a baseline

2) To see progression

Question 6

What are the risks associated with ROM and MMT?

Answer 6

Pain/discomfort

Question 7

What is the compensation for MMT for hip flexion?

Answer 7

Leaning back

Question 8

What is the compensation for MMT for hip abduction?

Answer 8

1) bringing hip forward
2) Leaning back

Question 9

What is the compensation for MMT for knee flexion/extension?

Answer 9

back will come forward

Question 10

How do you chart a joint that is hyper mobile and hypo mobile?

Answer 10

hypermobile (loose)
moves too much (positive number)

hypomobile (stiff)
doesn’t move enough (negative number)
