This characteristic of muscle describes the muscle's ability to return to its normal resting length when a stretching or shortening force is removed. 

What is elasticity? 

100

This lobe of the brain is located inferior to the frontal lobe and is the center for hearing, language, and understanding. 

What is the temporal lobe? 

100

This is a non-axial synovial joint in the shoulder girdle. 

What is acromioclavicular (AC) joint? 

100

The glenohumeral joint has this number of degrees of freedom.

What is 3? 

100

This describes a muscle or group of muscles that are the cause of a motion and have the primary responsibility to move a joint in a particular direction. 

What is prime mover(s)? 

200

If the normal resting length of a muscle is 8 inches, this is length it can be maximally stretched. 

What is 12 inches? 

200

This is a fatty sheath that covers the axons of a nerve cell and increases nerve conduction velocity. 

What is myelin? 

200

With scapulohumeral rhythm, this is the ratio of humeral motion to scapular motion.

What is 2:1? 

200

Describes the normal end feel of the GH joint.

What is capsular? 

200

What is a humeral neck fracture? 

300

This fiber type uses oxygen for its energy source and is fatigue-resistant. 

What is Type I or slow twitch fibers? 

300

This peripheral nerve injury results from compression of the radial nerve as it spirals around the mid humerus.

What is Saturday night palsy?

300

What is scapular winging? 

300

These two rotator cuff muscles are responsible for shoulder external (lateral) rotation. 

What are the teres minor and infraspinatus muscles? 

300

This nerve supplies innervation to the diaphragm. 

What is the phrenic nerve (C3, C4, C5)? 

400

This muscle is named by its shape, inserts on the spine of the scapula, and is innervated by the spinal accessory nerve (CN 11). 

What is lower trapezius muscle? 

400

This structure is the middle meningeal layer that is responsible for the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid. 

What is arachnoid mater? 

400

This ligament reinforces the superior joint capsule of the SC joint and prevents excessive separation of the clavicles. 

What is the interclavicular ligament? 

400

The common function of the four rotator cuff muscles. 

What is stabilizing the humeral head within the glenoid fossa?

400

The humeral contribution to shoulder complex flexion totaling 150 degrees. 

What is 110 degrees? 

500

This term describes closing of the fingers through passive tendon action rather than muscle contraction often seen in a spinal cord injury patient.

What is tenodesis? 

500

Motor neurons transition from the central nervous system to the peripheral nervous system at this location within the spinal cord.

What is anterior horn? 

500

You are performing a pull up from a bar and are in the starting position with your shoulders fully flexed overhead. The shoulder extensors perform this type of contraction to raise your chin to the bar. 

What is concentric contraction? 

500

These three muscles participate in the force couple for upward rotation. 

What are the upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior. 

500

This shoulder pathology can be seen in patients who have suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) resulting in weakness in the deltoid and supraspinatus muscles causing loss of joint congruity. 

What is shoulder subluxation? 

600

A patient brings their knee toward their chest and exhibits the ability to achieve 125 degrees of hip flexion ROM.  You have the patient now flex their hip with their knee straight and notice that the ROM of the hip decreases to 100 degrees.  You perform PROM and also are only able to move the patient’s hip to 100 degrees. Demonstrates what type of insufficiency in the hamstrings? 

What is passive insufficiency of hamstrings? 

600

Injury to this cranial nerve is responsible for sensation to the tongue and muscles of facial expression. 

What is cranial nerve (CN) 7? 

600

While adducting your shoulder at the GH joint, the clavicle must glide on the sternum in this direction. 

What is superiorly? 

600

This structure is MOST effective in prevention of anterior GH dislocation. 

What is the glenohumeral ligament? 

600

Describes the open packed position of the GH joint. 

What is 55 degrees abduction and 30 degrees of horizontal adduction?
