Goni, mmt, posture, biomechanics, tissue heal, stretch

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
what is the purpose of goni & mmt?   communicate with other health professionals & document progress  
🗑
goniometry is...   the measuring of angles of joints  
🗑
most common source used in goni   norkin & white  
🗑
what is more precise... goni or incliometer?   goni  
🗑
stationary arm   proximal arm  
🗑
moving arm   distal arm  
🗑
fulcrum   joint  
🗑
factors that determine ROM   age, gender, BMI, recreation, genetics  
🗑
reliability-   to what extent is the measurement accurate when different examiners perform the measurement (intertester) or when the same examiner repeats the test (intratester)  
🗑
factors that affect reliability and validity   same tester, same position, same device, same technique, repeated 3x  
🗑
alternate methods to mmt   isokinetic equip & dynameters  
🗑
mmt stabilization can be accomplished by:   mm tension of subject, gravity, external pressure of examiner, positioning  
🗑
screening quick tests to conserve the examiners time and prevent pt fatigue   check both sides at the same time, give resistance in test position first, do all tests in on position 1st before changing- so be organized and plan test  
🗑
mm performance   quality of how mm works-encompasses strength, power and endurance  
🗑
neuromuscular control   ability to control mm  
🗑
Wolfe's law states   that bone is laid down according to stress  
🗑
muscular disuse leads to atrophy...   fewer mitochondria, decrease in myofibrils present in the cells  
🗑
pt management model to provide ex management   examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, interventions  
🗑
intervention by the PTA   review POC:coordination, communication & documentation, procedural intervention, patient-related instruction, monitoring, progression  
🗑
functional outcomes must be:   meaningful, practical, sustainable (pt satisfaction important)  
🗑
discharge:   anticipated goals and expected outcomes have been attained  
🗑
discontinuation:   ending of services before goals met, due to pt decision to stop, change in medical stat, or need for further service not justified to payer  
🗑
motor learning   cognitive (figure it out), associative (refining the mvmt), autonomous (mvmt automatic)  
🗑
blocked   same task, same conditions, same order  
🗑
random   slight variations in an unpredictable order, variations change with each rep  
🗑
random-blocked   variations of the same task in random order, but each variation is performed more than once  
🗑
function excursion   difference between max length & max shortening  
🗑
active insufficiency   when mm is max shortened, it can't generate much power (1 or 2 jt mm)  
🗑
passive insufficiency   when mm is fully elongated (only 2 jt mm)  
🗑
ROM for acute state of healing   PROM & AAROM  
🗑
ROM for subacute state of healing   AAROM & AROM (3-10 days)  
🗑
ROM for chronic state of healing   stretching & RROM  
🗑
precautions to ROM   when motion disrupts healing, other health issues are life threatening (after trauma or surgery)  
🗑
longer mm generally have ____ force potential than short mm   less  
🗑
very tight mm have ____ force potential   reduced  
🗑
posture-lateral view:   ear, shd, slightly post to hip (thru greater trochanter), ant to knee jt, ant to lat malleolus, normal pelvic tilt  
🗑
posture-posterior view:   look for lateral curve (scoliosis), shd height symmetry, scap inferior angle symmetry, trochanter height symmetry, crest height syymetry, PSIS asymmetry, genu valgum/varum, calcaneal valgum (line of Achilles)  
🗑
posture-anterior view:   shd height & rotation, nipple line, ASIS, iliac crest height, patellas (height & rotation), hands (palms to back means pec tightness)  
🗑
stability in standing posture is created by:   mm and ligaments  
🗑
stability at the ankle is created by:   soleus mm  
🗑
stability at the knee is created by:   knee ligaments, gastrocnemius & hamstrings  
🗑
stability at the hip is created by:   no mm stability needed if hip is in alignment  
🗑
stability in the spine is created by:   abdominal & erector spinae (superficial), deep mm (segmental) & posterior longitudinal ligament  
🗑
normal COG is:   anterior to S2  
🗑
superficial mm stabilizing spine   rectus abdominus, inter & external obliques, erector spinae, scales, levator-main function to respond to external loading (stressed w/bad posture)  
🗑
deep mm stabilizing spine   transverse abdominus, multifidis, rotatores, rectus capitus, longus coli- main function is reflexive segmental control to maintain upright stability balance & posture (not much stress)  
🗑
trapezius & semispinalis capitus keep head...   from falling fwd  
🗑
scalene & levator:   stabilize vertebrae  
🗑
become weak & stretched w/FHP   supra & infra hyoids- also balance during chewing  
🗑
lordotic posture   increased LS angle more than 30 degrees, ant pelvic tilt w/tight hip flexors, compression of post facet jts, narrow IV foramen & post disc space (will pinch nerve), stretched & weak transvers abdominus & other abdominals, tight erector spinae & post lig  
🗑
flat low back posture   decreased LS angle, ASIS almost level with PSIS, post pelvic tilt, reduced shock absorption due to loss of curve, stretched/weak erector spinae, stretched post lig, tight hamstrings, 90% of back pn pt, disc probs  
🗑
increased thoracic kyphosis   stretched/weak thoracic ext, often occurs w/FHP, occurs w/fwd-internally rotated shd, stretched/weak rhomboid & middle/lower traps, stretched posterior ligaments of thoracic spine  
🗑
fwd head   increased cervical lordosis, tight cervical ext & post lig, tight pecs & scalenes, increased stress on C-4 thru C-6 facet jts & discs, tight upper trap, stretched cervical flexors, post facet jt compression, narrow IV foramen  
🗑
flat upper back & neck posture   stretched post cv ext & post cv lig, tight cv flexors, loss of curve so increased jt stress, more common in ectomorphs  
🗑
genu recurvatum   back knee  
🗑
genu varum   bow leg  
🗑
genu valgum   knock knees  
🗑
pes cavus   high arch in foot  
🗑
pes planus   flat foot  
🗑
CT such as ligaments & tendons:   made of elastin, can elongate 70% w/o disruption  
🗑
collagen   more abundant than elastin & many different types (12-19), designed for stability and strength  
🗑
ground substance   jello- gel like substance that provides support and is related to cellular exchanges of gasses & water  
🗑
fibroblasts are:   the unique cells that form the collagen threads  
🗑
cartilage important to PT:   hyaline & fibrocartilage  
🗑
cell in matrix of cartilage...   chondrocyte  
🗑
ligaments are considered:   hypovascular, do have microvascularity, take longer to heal  
🗑
type I collagen:   very strong in mature scars  
🗑
type II collagen:   more elastic in immature scars  
🗑
strains   happen to mm  
🗑
sprains   happen to ligament  
🗑
grade I   microscopic tearing w/no joint laxity, heal spontaneously pretty well w/o PT  
🗑
grade II   tearing of some fibers with moderate joint laxity, pt will say doesn't feel normal  
🗑
grade III   complete rupture of the ligament w/profound instability and laxity-surgical treatment-almost always other damage as well  
🗑
ACL treatment leans toward   surgery  
🗑
MCL treatment leans toward   nonsurgical  
🗑
articular cartilage is   avascular  
🗑
fibrocartilage found in   synovial joints of shd, hip, knee  
🗑
