Rotator Cuff
This rotator cuff muscle assists with abduction of the shoulder
Supraspinatus
Genu Valgum
Phasic muscles are designed for what type of contractions?
Quicker, often more powerful
What happens if your line of gravity is outside your base of support?
lose or decrease your balance
An arm that has edema, with blotchy, shiny skin, coolness to touch, and hypersensitivity, is most representative of which condition?
CRPS
These two Rotator Cuff muscles assist with External Rotation
Teres Minor and Infraspinatus
This condition. also known as wry neck, causes a tilt and rotation at the neck.
Torticollis
Postural muscles are designed for what type of contractions?
Slower, longer lasting contractions
Your patient is having difficulty standing up to brush their teeth without losing their balance. You notice that they are keeping their feet close together and suggest they position them hip-width apart. What component of stability are you most directly affecting?
Base of Support
What are the three phases of Adhesive Capsulitis?
Freezing, Frozen, Thawing
This Rotator Cuff muscle is the only one that inserts on the lesser tubercle (vs. the greater tubercle) of the humerus.
Subscapularis
A lateral curvature of the spine is known as what?
Scoliosis
After a muscle contracts against a steady force at the same length, there is a naturally occurring relaxation response in that same muscle afterward. This is known as:
post-isometric relaxation
What does the acronym ARE have to do with levers?
The acronym ARE reminds us what point is in the middle for each of the three types of levers.
Axis in the middle for First-Class Lever
Resistance in the middle for Second-Class Lever
Effort in the middle for Third-Class Lever
Your patient says that their shoulder only hurts when they are reaching overhead, and only for a part of the movement. When you observe them, you notice that they are reporting pain only in the 80-100-degree range of shoulder flexion. Which condition typically demonstrates this clinical presentation?
Shoulder Impingement
The subscapularis peforms which movement?
Internal Rotation of the shoulder or glenohumeral joint
When the pelvis tilts anteriorly and shifted forward
Swayback
When the biceps brachii contracts, the triceps brachii relaxes. This is due to a phenomenon known as:
What is the basic premise of the law of inertia?
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by some force
Name three potential OT interventions for management of Edema
AROM
Elevation
Contrast Baths
Manual lymphatic drainage massage
This test can be performed to help support a potential rotator cuff dysfunction diagnosis. It is completed by seeing if a client can resist gravity in shoulder abduction.
Drop Arm Test
You notice that your patient's upper back is excessively bowed posteriorly, and you document it in your observation notes as what? (please note the type of increased curvature and the section of spine in your answer) "increased _____ curvature in the ____ spine"
Increased KYPHOTIC curvature in the THORACIC spine
These three muscles all insert into the greater tubercle of the humerus.
Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor
If you put on a heavy helmet, in what direction will your center of gravity shift?
Upward or superiorly
After a fracture, or any hand/wrist injury, when it is an option, the hand should be immobilized in which general functional position?
Slight wrist extension, MP flexion, PIP/DIP extension
