What arthrokinematic motions occur in the glenohumeral joint during shoulder internal rotation?

Anterior roll, posterior glide

100

Describe the function of the interosseous membrane. 

What is stability and transmission of forces from radius to ulna?

100

What is the close packed position of the wrist

full extension

100

Shoulder flexion occurs in ___ plane

Supination occurs in the ___ plane 

what is sagittal and transverse plane 

100

Describe the convex/concave rule. 

When a convex joint surface is moving, the roll and glide occur in the opposite direction. When a concave joint surface is moving, the roll and the glide occur in the same direction.

200

Describe the Scapulohumeral Rhythm in the Shoulder Complex.

There is a 2:1 ratio with arm elevation. The Glenohumeral joint contributes 120 degrees and the scapulothoracic joint contributes 60 degrees.

Bonus* if you can describe setting phase and clavicular motion during scapular motion

200

What ligaments and structures are stressed with a varus force?

Lateral collateral ligaments... radial and ulnar. don't forget bone too!

200
True or False:

There are muscles whose function is exclusively radial or ulnar deviation of the wrist

False:

Muscles on the flexor and extensor forearm work in synergy to accomplish radial or ulnar deviation

200

Movement caused by gravity when gravity is EXACTLY perpendicular to the leg.

What is rotation (torque)?

200

What occurs during an isokinetic eccentric movement?

Muscle length changes (elongates) but under constant speed

300

Movement at clavicle, scapula, and humerus during shoulder abduction.

What is 30 degrees of clavicular elevation, posterior rotation of clavicle, UR of scapula, and ER rotation of humerus?

300

open packed positions in the elbow

what is full extension and supination in the humeroradial joint? what is 70 deg flexion and 10 deg supination in the humeroulnar joint?

300

True or False

The extensor digitorum cannot extend the DID and PIP joints

True 

it only extends the MCP joints

Bonus: how do the DIP and PIP joints get extended 

300

True or False:

Torque decreases the farther away you move from a lever arm. 

False:

Distance will increase

Force will decrease

Torque will remain the same

300

Describe 1 position for active insufficiency of tricep.

What is elbow flexion and shoulder flexion (lengthened) or elbow extension and shoulder extension (shortened)?

400

Consider the actions of the rotator cuff muscles needed to abduct the arm. What would motion look like if the rotator cuff were torn?

30° abduction

400

The best ways to isolate muscle activation of the: 1. Biceps Brachii 2. Brachioradialis and 3. Brachialis

1. Elbow Flexion + Forearm Supination (+ Shoulder Flexion)

2. Elbow Flexion w/ Forearm Neutral

3. Elbow Flexion w/ Forearm Pronated

400

Extension of the PIP joints is always accompanied by this other motion 

What is DIP extension? 

400

Fill in the blank

When transferring a patient from a wheelchair to a mat the therapist should position his or her body _____ to the patient's body to _____ the amount of force required by the therapist for the transfer.

What is closer/near and decrease/lessen/reduce.

400

Looking at the biceps alone during a chin up, what type of contraction occurs as he is going up? as he pauses at the top? and as he is slowly going down?

What is concentric, then isometric, then eccentric?

500

These ligaments will be affected if there is an anterior shoulder dislocation 

What is the anterior band of the inferior GH ligament, middle GH ligament, and the Superior GH ligament?


Mostly the inferior GH lig as most shoulder dislocations occur in abd and ER

500

During a push up, what direction does the humerus glide and roll at the elbow joint during elbow extension? 

What is humerus is rolling posteriorly and gliding anteriorly

500

Explain the motion that happens between the carpals and radius during wrist extension.

What is (1) distal row of carpals, (2) capitate hits scaphoid to lock distal and proximal row of carpals, (3) proximal row moves on radius?

500

There are a lot of muscles at work when a person reaches to brush his or her hair. Name two of the main muscles that cause a force-couple during scapular upward rotation.


What is serratus anterior and trapezius.


500

In the clinic you are working with a patient who has passive insufficiency in their triceps. You ask them to perform an an overhead tricep extension, what can you expect to see during the exercise?

What is limited elbow flexion while lowering the weight?

Bonus* 100

What head of the triceps is the most taut during the exercise?
