Active Range of Motion (RoM)...
Requires client to achieve motion
Is always less than passive RoM
Provides information on muscle strength and quality of motion
All of the above
A end feel occurs when soft tissue bumps into other soft tissue. A end feel occurs when there is muscular, capsular or ligamentous stretch. A end feel occurs when bone stops bone.
During MMT testing, your client is able to fully flex their elbow against gravity, but can not take any resistance. What grade would you give them?

During MMT testing, your client is not able to initiate any movement in their wrist, but you can feel muscles tensing in the forearm. What grade would you give them?

During MMT testing, your client is able to fully abduct their shoulder against gravity and can take a little less than moderate resistance. What grade would you give them?

A goniometer is an instrument used to measure RoM at a particular joint
When applying resistance during MMT testing, the clinician should apply force as distally as possible but without crossing the next joint
Select all factors that will influence RoM:
Scar tissue
Hunger
Time of day
Testing clinician
Positioning
In what region will removal of a load result in tissues returning to their original state?
Toe
Elastic
Plastic
Failure
In what region will removal of a load result in healing of tissues but residual deformation?
Repetitive strain injury occurs when the healing of stressed tissue is faster than the deformation of tissues
Which of the following are strategies to reduce injury from repetitive motion?
Reduce the load
Ensure sufficient recovery time
Optimize posture and positioning
Listen to warning signs
Strengthen and stretch muscles
Reduce repetitions
Which of the following is NOT true regarding tissue stress deprivation?
Bone loses compressive and tensile strength
Tendons and ligaments lose tensile strength and length
Muscle fibers become longer and increase the number of sarcomeres
Cartilage becomes malnourished and degenerates
