OPP Exam 1Questions AND Correct Answers
1st Law of Myokinematics - ✔✔Approximation: during contraction,
muscle brings attachments closer together
2nd Law of Myokinematics - ✔✔Detorsion: during contraction, muscle
brings origin and insertion into same plane
3 causes of scoliosis - ✔✔1.) idiopathic
2.) congenital
3.) acquired
agonist - ✔✔muscle or group of muscles primarily responsible for
performing some motion
allopathic medicine - ✔✔treat disease with strong medicines opposite
effects of disease; first to apply scientific principles to practice
medicine
alpha motor neurons - ✔✔innervate extrafusal muscle fibers
amplitude - ✔✔distance over which treatment force is applied
,Anatomic Barrier - ✔✔active ROM; can be passively moved by
someone else (beyond anatomic barrier)
antagonist - ✔✔muscle or group of muscles opposing motion of
agonist (produce opposite motion)
antalgic gait - ✔✔limping
articulatory treatment (springing) - ✔✔-low velocity with moderate
amplitude
-increase articular ROM by carrying joint through full ROM
average cadence - ✔✔90-120 steps/min.
average step length - ✔✔15"
average stride width - ✔✔2-4"
balance ligamentous tension - ✔✔joint/tissue placed in point of
balance until release is appreciated
cadency - ✔✔steps/min
, center of gravity - ✔✔5 cm anterior to S2
compass gait - ✔✔bipedal gait with movement only at hip and ankle
concentric contraction - ✔✔muscle shortens when contracting
condylar joint - ✔✔modified ball-and-socket joint (e.g. metacarpal-
phalangeal joint aka knuckle)
contracture - ✔✔sustained shortening caused by pathologic condition
counterstrain - ✔✔physician counters strain by reintroducing original
strain (aka position of ease; tender points will correlate with specific
ligament, joint, and muscle
cross extensor reflex - ✔✔agonist and antagonist of contralateral side
will both flex or extend (i.e. walking)
direct technique - ✔✔restrictive barrier is engaged (away form
diagnosis)
direct techniques - ✔✔-soft tissue
-MFR
