A goniometer is used to measure which of the following? - ✔✔ROM
Which of the following manual muscle test scores is written correctly? - ✔✔4/5
True or False. Degrees of freedom refers to how many planes a joint is able to move in. -
✔✔True
True or False. Typically when evaluating every patient, you should complete a full upper and
lower body assessment including manual muscle testing and range of motion measurements for
all joints. - ✔✔False
All muscles that act on the head are inserted on the _______. - ✔✔Skull
Of the muscles listed below, which contributes to combined neck flexion by forward flexing the
neck so the chin thrusts forward AND rotates the neck side to side (lateral flexion). When the
head rotates from side to side, it becomes the most prominent muscle of the anterior neck.
- rectus capitis posterior
- longus capitis
- sternocleidomastoid
- middle scalene - ✔✔sternocleidomastoid
, True or False: Grade 3 (fair) of cervical extension is tested against gravity in prone with patient's
head off the table and therapist carefully positioned next to the patient ready to catch the head if
needed. - ✔✔True
Why should extreme care/caution be used whenever manual muscle testing with the patient's
head off the table? - ✔✔the head is a heavy object suspended on thin support
True or False: Because the cervical muscles are responsible for support and weight-bearing of
the head, they are only truly at rest when lying down. - ✔✔True
True or False: When testing scapular abduction and upward rotation of the serratus anterior
muscle, a grade 5 (normal) requires the scapula to maintain its abducted and rotated position
against maximal resistance given on the arm proximal to the elbow, applied in a downward
direction. - ✔✔True
Scapular elevation assesses the upper fibers of which muscle? - ✔✔Trapezius
True or False: Normal function of the scapulothoracic joint is necessary for mobility and stability
of the upper-extremity. - ✔✔True: Functions include shock absorption, increasing range of
motion of the shoulder, maintaining length-tension for the deltoid for greater stability, etc.
