Origin, Insertion, Action, & Innervation
All fibers of this muscle (anterior, middle, and posterior) contribute to shoulder abduction.
What is the deltoid?
A patient moves through full ROM against gravity but cannot tolerate resistance.
What is muscle grade 3 (Fair)?
This landmark serves as the axis when measuring elbow flexion.
What is the lateral epicondyle of the humerus?
Which rotator cuff muscle is responsible for external rotation?
What is the infraspinatus?
The need for 1 - 25% assistance by one person for physical activities and/or periodic cognitive assistance to perform functional activities safely.
What is MIN A?
This muscle originates from the supraspinous fossa and inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus.
What is the supraspinatus?
This MMT grade indicates full ROM against gravity with maximal resistance.
What is Grade 5 (Normal)?
Normal shoulder flexion ROM is approximately:
What is 170 degrees?
These muscles are activated when flipping a pancake over in a pan.
What is pronator teres, pronator quadratus, and brachioradialis (assists)?
This position allows for an active trunk and pelvis alignment, promoting a functional forward movement during the lift phase of transition.
What is anterior pelvic tilt?
This nerve innervates the biceps brachii.
What is the musculocutaneous nerve?
This MMT grade indicates full ROM in a gravity-eliminated position.
What is Grade 2 (Poor)?
When measuring wrist extension, where is the fulcrum placed?
What is lateral aspect of wrist just distal to ulnar styloid?
Name the muscle commonly tested when asking a patient to shrug their shoulders.
What is the levator scapulae? or upper trapezius?
Before every transfer, these two wheelchair components should be addressed.
What are locking the brakes and moving/removing the footrests?
The insertion of the pectoralis major is located here.
What is the bicipital groove of the humerus?
This MMT grade is assigned when only a palpable muscle contraction is present.
What is Grade 1 (Trace)?
What movement is measured if the axis is placed on dorsum of the wrist at base of 3rd metacarpal and the moveable arm in line with metacarpal, not finger to take the measurement.
What is ulnar/radial deviation?
This muscle inserts on the coracoid process and assists with scapular depression and downward rotation.
What is the pectoralis minor?
The need for 51 - 75% assistance by one person to physically perform any part of a functional activity or cognitive assistance to perform gross motor actions in response to direction.
What is MAX A?
This muscle is innervated by the Thoracodorsal nerve.
What is the latissimus dorsi?
Clinical Scenario - A patient performs 75% of ROM against gravity before fatigue. What grade are will they be scored at?
What is Grade 3- (Fair-)?
Clinical Scenario - A patient begins elbow flexion at 10° and ends at 140°. What ROM should be documented?
What is "Right elbow flexion AROM= 10° - 140°"?
Which muscle is the prime mover for elbow extension?
What is the triceps brachii?
A speech or conversation given at the beginning of a new patient session about "What is OT".
What is an elevator speech?
