Joint Motions and Tissue Stress

Active Range of Motion (RoM)...

A [blank_start]soft[blank_end] end feel occurs when soft tissue bumps into other soft tissue. A [blank_start]firm[blank_end] end feel occurs when there is muscular, capsular or ligamentous stretch. A [blank_start]hard[blank_end] 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:

In what region will removal of a load result in tissues returning to their original state?

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?

Which of the following is NOT true regarding tissue stress deprivation?
