Certification for Orthotic fitters exam Already
Graded A+
Patient records should be kept
in locked cabinets outside of patient access areas
understanding patients expectations relative to outcomes is
an important fitting consideration
the function of the skeletal system is
to provide a flexible framework and to manufacture red blood cells
ligaments heal best with
controlled stress motion
In common practice, an avulsion is
Torn tendon
Concentric muscle activity
Accelerates mass
Tendons function by attaching
muscle to bone
Joint stability requires
adequate strength, appropriate range of motion, adequate proprioception
Proprioception is
the body's position sense in space
Most gross motions during gait occur in the
Frontal plane
Superior - inferiodr positions refer to components of the
trunk
adduction - abduction is determined by ending posture of the
distal segment
Transvers plane indicates
Rotatory motion
A partial dislocation is referred to as a
subluxation
, Pressure points are
the patients worst enemy, the fitter's worst enemy, The referring physician's worst enemy
Documentation of a gait deficit prior to fitting a wrist orthosis is
important
The definition f a joint is
a connective tissue between bones
Normally tendons, when torn loose by a sudden force, seldom break in the middle; rather,
they pull away from the bone at the end
Pronation involves
Motion in three joints at the same time in one plane
an example of autonomic muscle function is
Heart muscle pumping
Orthotics can aid in
eccentric musce activity, reactive muscle activity, concentric muscle activity
eccentric is the
motion of an active muscle while it is lengthening under load
isometric is
no movement in a muscle
concentric is
the contraction of a muscle
sarcomeres
the overlapping work units within muscle structues are known as
the hip is a
ball and socket joint
the ham strings are made up of
semimembranosis, semitendinosis and the bicep femoris
The gluteus medius
is a hip external rotator, a hip abductor and decelerates hip internal rotation
