Term
| True or False: Manual muscle testing only assesses concentric kinds of contractions. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: only muscles that cross two joints can exhibit active insufficiency. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: placing a joint in a position that creates passive insufficiency should be avoided when taking goniometric measurements on a patient. |
|

|
Term
| What plane divides the body into front and back sections? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: the sagittal plane divides the body into upper and lower segments. |
|
Definition
| False, left and right segments |
|
|
Term
| A patient can move a joint through the full ROM against gravity but cannot take resistance. What MMT grade would you assign to the tested muscle? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: the axis of a joint lies parallel to the plane of motion. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: passive motion is used to assess an end feel. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Name the three non-pathological end feels. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| A PT documents that a patient has an empty end feel. What does this mean? |
|
Definition
| No resistance to joint motion because the ligamenteous or capsular structures have been severely damaged. |
|
|
Term
| True or False: The arm of the goniometer that is part of the body is called the stationary arm. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: the moving arm is always lined up to the moving segment. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: movements in the horizontal plane always occur around a vertical axis. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What 2 muscles in the upper extremity need to be assessed prior to gait training using crutches with a NWB status. |
|
Definition
| Triceps and Latissimus Dorsi |
|
|
Term
| Name 2 reasons why assistive devices are used in patient care. |
|
Definition
| Improve balance by increasing the base of support, and unweighting a joint, |
|
|
Term
| True or False: using a railing is better then using two crutches to ascend or descend stairs. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: when a two joint muscle is actively insufficient, its antagonist (opposite muscle) undergoes passive insufficiency. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: the elbows are flexed in the anatomical position. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What determines the degrees of freedom or movement of a joint? |
|
Definition
| The classification of joint (ball and socket as compared to a hinge) See page 5 in Musculoskeletal Assement |
|
|
Term
| A joint can move in two planes. How many degrees of movement or freedom does it have? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: Frontal plane movement ocurrs around a sagittal axis. |
|
Definition
| True, see Table 1-2 in Musculoskeletal Assessement on page 7 |
|
|
Term
| True or False: sagittal motion of the shoulder includes two movements, abduction and adduction. |
|
Definition
| False, flexion and extension. Appreciate the fact that when doing goniometry, each plane of motion that a joint possesses regards that two separate motions need to measured. In this case flexion and extension |
|
|
Term
| True or False: when soft tissue approximate against one another, a firm end results. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What kinds of movements does goniometry measure? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: the frontal plane is also called the coronal plane. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What 3 kinds of motion can be assessed with goniometry? |
|
Definition
| Active, passive, and Active Assistive |
|
|
Term
| When performing a MMT on a patient what position do you start the test in? |
|
Definition
| Against gravity, 3 or Fair |
|
|
Term
| You are performing a MMT on patient. The patient is unable to move the joint against gravity. What should you do next? |
|
Definition
| Place the patient in a gravity eliminated position. |
|
|
Term
| A PTA is doing a MMT. The patient cannot move against gravity so the patient's extremity is placed in a gravity eliminated position. What grade should be assigned to the patient when the clinician can feel a muscle contraction but there is no joint movement. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False: when performing any test greater than a 3 or Fair, you must palpate the muscle you are testing. |
|
Definition
| False, less than 3 or fair |
|
|
Term
| True or False: MMT can be used to measure the endurance a muscle possesses. |
|
Definition
| False, MMT is used to asses strength |
