Movements & Occupation
This is a functional activity which involves cervical flexion.
What is looking down to button your shirt, tie your shoes, wash dishes, etc.?
These are the four prime movers for shoulder extension.
What is the posterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, lower pectoralis major, teres major?
This describes the important events that occur between 2 successive heel contacts of the same limb.
What is the gait cycle?
This weight-bearing restriction is when a client is instructed to "stay off" the affected LE.
What is non-weight-bearing (NWB)?
This balance grade is given when a client is unable to maintain a position without maximal assistance.
What is "poor"?
This is a functional activity which involves lateral trunk flexion.
What is itching the side of your leg, standing while putting on a shoe, etc.?
These are the 3 prime movers for elbow flexion.
What are the Biceps Brachii, Brachialis, Brachioradialis?
The events that occur between the successive heel contacts of opposite feet.
What is a "step"?
This weight-bearing status is given when a client can place up to 100% of their weight on their LE without pain, fatigue, or discomfort.
What is "no restrictions" or "within functional limits" (WFL)?
This system located in the inner ear helps maintain balance by providing the brain with information about motion, head position, and spatial orientation.
What is the vestibular system?
This functional activity involves trunk rotation.
What is reaching for a seat belt, reaching for an item on a side table, etc.
These are the 2 prime movers for elbow supination.
What are the supinator and biceps brachii?
This assessment of balance, gait pattern, and mobility includes timing a client from standing from a chair to walking 3 meters and back to a sitting position.
What is the Timed up and Go assessment (TUG)?
Weight-bearing restriction which allow a client to put 30-50% weight on a lower extremity.
What is partial weight bearing (PWB)?
This sensory system affects balance by informing the brain about the body's position in space through receptors in muscles, joints, and tendons.
What is the proprioceptive system?
This functional activity involves elbow flexion.
What is feeding, drinking from a cup, lifting a grocery bag, etc.?
These are the 3 prime movers for wrist flexion.
What are the flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis, and palmaris longus?
This portion of the gait cycle occurs during the first 60%, where the foot remains in contact with the ground.
What is the stance phase?
This weight-bearing restriction is designated for clients who can place less than 10% of their weight on a lower extremity.
What is toe-touch weight bearing (TTWB)?
This balance assessment includes assessing a client's ability to pivot transfer between 2 chairs.
What is the Berg Balance Scale Assessment?
This functional activity involves cervical rotation.
What is looking both ways before crossing the street, shaking head "no", etc.?
These are the prime movers for shoulder horizontal abduction.
What are the posterior deltoid, teres major, and infraspinatus?
This is a common gait deviation that you may observe in practice (name one).
What is foot slap, high-stepping, hip hiking?
This weight-bearing restriction is when the patient is instructed to place weight on the affected LE, until they experience pain, fatigue, or discomfort.
What is weight-bearing as tolerated (WBAT)?
This is a balance grade given to an individual who is able to maintain static sitting balance against maximal resistance during the "shove" test.
What is "normal"?
