MMT
This is the gravity minimized position for hip external rotation.
What is supine?
This muscle length test should be used on someone that is lacking knee flexion.
This objective measurement is warranted when one iliac crest is higher than the other.
What is leg length measurement.
This is the most valid and reliable method for assessing a true leg length discrepancy.
What is a radiograph.
A knee valgus compensation during squatting is commonly due to weakness in this muscle.
What is the gluteus medius.
This MMT grade exhibits elbow flexion through 3/4 of the range of motion against gravity.
What is a 3-.
What is the Thomas test.
This type of leg length discrepancy occurs when there one leg longer than the other due to soft tissue tightness.
What is functional leg length
This is the capsular pattern of the hip joint.
What is flexion, abduction, and internal rotation.
This inert soft tissue is what limits excessive cervical extension.
What is the anterior longitudinal ligament.
This is the proper hand placement when applying resistance to a limb during a MMT.
What is the distal end of bone with the muscle inserts.
This would be the most appropriate muscle length test in someone that is lacking dorsiflexion
What is the gastrocnemius and
soleus.
Tightness in this muscle group can occur due to an increased thoracic kyphosis and posterior pelvic tilt posture.
What is the rectus abdominal group.
This is considered the normal amount of ROM when using a tape measure to assess flexion of the thoracolumbar spine.
What is 10cm.
This functional activity requires the greatest amount of cervical rotation.
What is driving a car in reverse.
In a person with decreased passive and active ROM this is the proper way to proceed with a MMT.
What is "in the available range of motion".
this muscle length test would be best applied for a patient with lateral hip and knee pain.
What is the Ober test.
An increased thoracic kyphosis can affect the mobility and contractility of the these structures therefore impacting ones breathing.
What is the rib cage and intercostal muscles.
This is the minimum amount of knee flexion required to achieve a normal gait cycle.
What is 40-60 degrees.
This ankle motion is required for descending steps without compensatory motion.
What is dorsiflexion.
This muscle acts to plantar flexes and invert the foot and eccentrically slows the foot during pronation from loading response to midstance.
What is the posterior tibialis muscle.
This muscle length test is most appropriate for a patient that presents with a flexed knee posture during a postural exam.
What is the SLR or hamstring length test.
Tightness in the quadriceps and gastrocnemius can cause gravitational stresses to lie far forward on the knee joint axis leading to this postural abnormality.
What is genu recurvatum.
A 20 degree decrease in great toe extension would have the greatest impact on this phase of the gait cycle.
What is pre-swing.
This muscle acts to plantarflex and invert the foot and eccentrically slows the foot during pronation from loading response to midstance.
What is the posterior tibialis muscle.
