ATI 2.0 Musculoskeletal and Neurological Questions
Solved 100% Correct
Abduction - ANSWERmovement of a limb away from the midline of the body
adduction - ANSWERMovement toward the midline of the body
astereogenesis - ANSWERinability to distinguish objects by sense of touch
ataxia - ANSWERdefective muscular coordination that manifested when voluntary
muscular movements are attempted
clonus - ANSWERSpasmodic alternation of muscular contractions between
antagonistic muscle groups caused by a hyperactive stretch reflex from an upper
motor neuron lesion.
contracture - ANSWERshortening of a muscle leading to limited ROM of a joint
crepitation - ANSWERcrackling or rattling sound, audible and palpable
crunching/grating that accompanies movement
Dislocation - ANSWERinjury to a joint where two or more bones are forced from
normal positions
subluxation - ANSWERpartial dislocation
Flaccidity - ANSWERloss of muscle tone, limp
lacking firmness
Spasticity - ANSWERcondition where muscles are continuously contracted, caused by
damage to the brain or spinal cord that causes voluntary movement
-increased muscle tone
Hyperalgesia - ANSWERcondition where a person develops an increased sensitivity to
pain
hypoalgesia - ANSWERdecreased sensitivity to painful stimuli
Kyphosis - ANSWERspinal disorder causing a round upper back like hunchback
scoliosis - ANSWERsideways curvature of the spine
myalgia - ANSWERmuscle pain
, paraesthesia - ANSWERan abnormal sensation, typically tingling or pricking ("pins
and needles"), caused by pressure on or damage to peripheral nerves.
paralysis - ANSWERloss of muscle function
paresis - ANSWERa condition of muscular weakness caused by nerve damage or
disease; partial paralysis
tic - ANSWERspasmodic muscular contractions commonly in face, mouth, eyes, head,
neck and shoulder muscles. They are involuntary and irregular
Tremor - ANSWERinvoluntary and rhythmic muscle contraction and relaxation
What does the musculoskeletal system consist of? - ANSWERbones, joints, muscles
to help us stand and move. Also functions to encase and protect inner vital organs,
produce RBCs and is a reservoir of storage of essential minerals like calcium and
phosphorus
Bone Facts - ANSWERthere are 206
femur is longest
arm breaks most frequently
the bone is hard, rigid and very dense and provides structural framework
Joint Facts - ANSWER-place of union of 2 or more bones
-functional units of the musculoskeletal system cuz they enable mobility needed for
ADLs
-nonsynovial joints are immoveable or slightly moveable
-Synovial joints move freely and has synovial fluid. lubricant
-6 types of synovial joints: pivot, hinge, saddle, ball and socket, plane, condyloid
rheumatoid arthritis - ANSWERinvolves same joints bilaterally, has worse pain in the
morning
Osteoarthritis - ANSWERinflammation of the bone and joint with pain worse in the
day
tendinitis, tendonitis - ANSWERinflammation of a tendon with pain that is worse in
the mornings and then improves
Musculoskeletal functional assessment - ANSWERused to assess safety of
independent living, the need for home health care services and quality of life. Assess
for impairments in physical mobility, verbal skills, risk for back pain or carpel tunnel
syndrome and other self care behaviours
Musculoskeletal initial survey - ANSWERPosture: erect, head midline
Gait/Mobility: base width, smooth, continuous and rhythmic, alternating arm swing
Balance: use of aids?
