MMT
Manual muscle testing puts stress on this non-contractile connective tissue?
What is the tendon?
The part of the goniometer which is typically aligned with the axis of rotation of the joint being measured.
What is the fulcrum?
The facet joint orientation of this region of the spine are the "BUM"s of BuBulBum
What are lumbar facets?
Like a chock-block behind a car tire, this structure gives stability to the knee joint.
What is a meniscus?
You might want to call a "taxi" if you are exhibiting the wide-based, staggering "drunken gait".
What is an Ataxic Gait?
Prone with shoulder abduction to 90, elbow flexed to 90, and full external rotation with 2-finger resistance is the proper way to MMT this horizontal plane motion.
What is external rotation?
Backward leaning of the trunk is a typical substitution to compensate for decreased ROM of this glenohumeral joint sagittal plane motion.
What is flexion?
The sagittal plane motion of the spine which results in narrowing of the intervertebral foramen.
What is extension?
This rule predicts arthrokinematics of a joint based on the shape of the articulating surfaces.
What is the Convex-Concave rule?
Pronation of the foot/ankle occurs primarily during this Rancho Los Amigos phase of the gait cycle.
What is Loading Response?
Being able to perform 2-24 heel raises would earn a patient a plantarflexion grade of this number out of 5, also the appropriate cry when a golf shot goes offline.
What is 4?
The objective assessment of the barrier to terminal PROM, at times can be "hard".
What is end feel?
Like the jelly in a jelly donut, this gelatinous region lies in the central region of a vertebral disc.
What is the nucleus pulposis?
The only bony connection of the appendicular to axial skeleton is through this joint, also the abbreviation for South Carolina.
What is the SC or Sternoclavicular joint?
The collective term which describes the events occurring between 40-60% of the gait cycle, during which there is concentric contraction of the Soleus muscle.
What is push-off?
Resistance for MMT is most appropriately applied here.
What is just proximal to the next more distal joint?
A reduction of ROM without resulting functional limitations?
What is within functional limits (WFL)?
The single joint responsible for approximately 50% of all cervical spine rotation.
What is the Atlanto-Axial joint?
The "she" in the pneumonic, "She likes to play, try to catch her".
What is the Scaphoid?
Being paid for work, or the term for this type of Gluteus Medius gait.
What is compensated?
In outer space, there would be no need to MMT a significantly weakened muscle in this position?
What is gravity eliminated?
The lateral midline of the Fibula using the head of the Fibula for reference, Lateral Malleolus and lateral midline of the fifth metatarsal.
What are the proper anatomical landmarks for measuring ankle DF/PF ROM?
A rib hump on the convex side of a lateral spinal curvature is secondary to this relationship, or the act of joining two things together.
What is coupling?
The technical term for the only joint of the UE for which a soft end feel is normal.
What is the humeral ulnar joint?
Damage to this nerve may result in a forward lurch during gait.
What is the Femoral nerve?
