So … when do we get to see the King Kong?
The Kin Com is arguably useful for its ability to facilitate this type of resistance protocol, described as providing "accommodating resistance."
Isokinetic
Mixture of mucoid sputum and pus, this smelly, yellow to pale green sputum is indicative of infection.
Mucopurulent
A person whose toes point inward might have a hip whose angle of torsion measures 45 degrees, otherwise known as this "version".
Anteversion
As an adult, you want your toes to go into flexion during this test.
Babinski Sign
PNF first started with this patient population. Hint: the vaccine for the disease was created in Pittsburgh.
Polio
Traditional strength training with free weights employs this type of resistance, described as "a dynamic form of exercise carried out against constant or variable load as a muscle lengthens or shortens in its available range of motion."
Isotonic
If a note mentions hemoptysis, you would expect the patient's sputum to include this major transporter of nutrients and gasses in the human body.
Blood
If a person is neither knock-kneed nor bow-legged, we would expect this degree of inclination at their hip.
125
Elegant 18th century music or a reflex? This reflex happens when you stroke a babies back and they curve to the ipsilateral side.
Galant Reflex
Energy is channeled from stronger to weaker muscle group according to this theory, also called overflow. Almost reminds you of how you heat up your home.
Irradiation
When performing a wall squat correctly, trunk musculature should be performing this type of contraction.
Isometric
If the sputum smells foul, as is typical of anaerobic infection resulting from bronchiectasis, lung abscess, or cystic fibrosis, it is said to be this type of sputum whose name is reminiscent of a Greek cheese.
Fetid
A true leg-length discrepancy can be screened for by measuring from the medial malleolus to this bony landmark.
ASIS
This is the stimulus for palmar and plantar grasp reflex.
Pressure
This type of movement of joints can help decrease pain.
Traction (distraction)
This term refers to a handy device used to measure torque and may be referred to as a 'load cell' on the Kin Com.
Dynamometer
Classic of pneumococcal pneumonia, this type of dark red sputum is sometimes referred to as "prune juice."
Rusty
MOI: Man running late for his flight trips over his own two ungraceful feet. If I only I had ever run in my life, he laments. He has injured this ligament during the less common eversion sprain of the ankle.
Deltoid
This period of development is characterized by physiologic flexion.
Birth to 3 months
This facilitates muscle contractions and is applied at end range before switching directions.
Quick Stretch
Since we aren't likely to ever use a Kin Kom machine outside of a research lab, knowledge about it will quickly fade (if it hasn't completely already). Similarly, our muscles obey the SAID principle, an acronym standing for this phrase.
Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands
A white or pink-tinged sputum associated with pulmonary edema, this sputum's name sounds much more appetizing when it appears in a description of your favorite cafe order.
Frothy
The "Hand of Benediction" or "Pope's Blessing" is characterized by a wasting of the anterior forearm and thenar eminence and is a result of damage to this nerve.
Median
Did you know Zach’s favorite superhero is Superman? Of course you did. This reflex occurs at the age of 6 months when you hold a baby on their stomach in the air with their neck in extension.
Landau Reflex
Soccer Boy Brandon wishes he was in this college division… Wrong topic. This PNF motion is started "down and out".
