Backbone Basics
This spinal region is the most mobile.
Cervical
This tool is used to measure shoulder or elbow range of motion
goniometer
This thumb motion is required to touch the thumb to the fifth finger.
opposition
This is the largest bone in the foot and forms the heel.
calcaneus
This foot motion is the most common cause of a lateral ankle sprain.
inversion
This muscle group helps maintain upright posture during ADLs
Erector Spinae
These four muscles make up the rotator cuff. (abbreviation)
SITS
This nerve is compressed in carpal tunnel syndrome.
median
These muscles perform hip extension and knee flexion.
Hamstrings
This pelvic position is considered ideal for seated posture.
neutral pelvic tilt
This muscle is the primary muscle of respiration.
diaphragm
This rotator cuff tendon is most commonly injured.
supraspinatus
These muscles abduct the fingers.
dorsal interossei (DAB)
These muscles are responsible for knee extension.
Quadriceps
Increasing this factor generally improves stability.
BOS
This joint allows you to rotate your head
atlantoaxial
This muscle is considered the primary elbow extender
triceps brachii
These muscles are located completely within the hand and provide precision control.
intrinsic muscles
This muscle helps "unlock" the knee during flexion.
popliteus
During walking, the gait cycle alternates between these two phases.
stance & swing
This spinal curvature is normally found in the thoracic spine.
Kyphosis
This muscle is the prime mover for shoulder abduction.
deltoid
This carpal bone is found in the anatomical snuffbox.
scaphoid
One side of the pelvis being higher than the other is known as this.
pelvic obliquity
DAILY DOUBLE! A wide base of support and poor coordination characterize this gait pattern.
