Questions & Answers | 100% Correct |
Verified
What muscles make up the hamstrings - ✔✔semimembranosus, semitendinosis, bicep femoris
Chondromalasis patella may be caused by - ✔✔over pronated foot, weak vastus medialis obliquis, weak
gluestus medius
What is Bursistis - ✔✔Inflammation of the bursa, causing swelling and pain
What are bursa - ✔✔fluid filled sacs between tissues
What is eccentric - ✔✔controlled movement in which you move toward an opposing force, rather than
away. Lengthening of the muscle
Example of eccentric muscle contraction - ✔✔lowering a weight, walking down stairs
What is apropulsive gait - ✔✔foot drop, partial foot amputation or soft tissue dysfunction
Proprioception rehabilitation can on occur - ✔✔during controlled motion when weight bearing
Normally____, when torn loose by a sudden ____, seldom break in the middle rather, they _____ away
from the _____ at the _____ - ✔✔Normally tendons, when torn loose by a sudden force, seldom break
in the middle rather, they pull away from the bone at the end
What is antalgic gait - ✔✔a gait in which the stance phase is shorter than the swing phase. It is a good
indicator of weight bearing pain
, What is Ataxic gait - ✔✔an unsteady, uncoordinated walk with a wide base and the feet thrown out,
coming down first on the heel and then the toes with a double tap
What is the popliteal fossa - ✔✔cavity posterior to the knee
What is the function of the skeletal system - ✔✔to provide a flexible foundation and manufacture red
blood cells
What is a shoulder joint - ✔✔ball and socket joint, muscle dominated joint and can move in all planes
Joint stability requires - ✔✔adequate strength, appropriate ROM and adequate proprioception
What is a closed kinetic chain - ✔✔a series of connected joints in which the distal segment is in fixed,
weight bearing position.
Orthotics can aid in - ✔✔eccentric muscle activity, reactive muscle activity and concentric muscle activity
What is concentric - ✔✔muscle activation (contraction) that causes tension on your muscle as it
shortens, generating enough force to move an object
Example of concentric muscle contraction - ✔✔Bicep curl
What is double-step gait - ✔✔a gait in which there is a noticeable difference in length/timing of
alternate steps
What are sacomeres - ✔✔overlapping work units within muscle structures
How can the posterior cruciate ligament can be injured - ✔✔excessive ankle dorsiflexion and a so called
dash-board injury.
