5 P's of musculoskeletal injury Correct Answers Pain
Pallor
Paresthesias
Pulselessness
Paralysis
Active verses Passive motion Correct Answers passive motion
-with the person's muscles relaxed while you move the body
part. active (voluntary) ROM while modeling the movements
yourself as appropriate; thus you can use your own movements
as a control.
adduction Correct Answers Moving a limb toward the midline
of the body
Age related changes (nerves, smell, taste, mobility) Correct
Answers Diminished cerebral blood flow, fall risk Falls risk
increases with diagnosis of stroke or dementia, gait and balance
disorder,Memory loss and cognitive decline, muscle atrophy,
impaired fine moter , decrease achiles reflex , decrease puple
reflex, decrease smell and taste Decreases in visual acuity and
hearing will also place older adults at risk for injury
Age related postural changes Correct Answers older adult more
flexion in the spine ..Decreased height is caused by shortening
of the vertebral caused by loss of water content and thinning of
the intervertebral disks and by a decrease in the height of
individual vertebrae---------- kyphosis preschool From the side
, lordosis is common throughout childhood, appearing more
pronounced in children with a protuberant abdomen.
All reflex assessment techniques Correct Answers ● Biceps
Reflex (C5 to C6). You can feel as well as see the normal
response, which is contraction of the biceps muscle and flexion
of the forearm
● Triceps Reflex (C7 to C8). just above the elbow The normal
response is extension of the forearm. Alternatively hold the
person's wrist across the chest to flex the arm at the elbow and
tap the tendon.
● Brachioradialis Reflex (C5 to C6). Hold the person's thumbs
to suspend the forearms in relaxation. Strike the forearm
directly, about 2 to 3 cm above the radial styloid process The
normal response is flexion and supination of the forearm.
● Quadriceps Reflex ("Knee Jerk") (L2 to L4). Strike the tendon
directly just below the patella .Extension of the lower leg is the
expected response. You also will palpate contraction of the
quadriceps.
● Achilles Reflex ("Ankle Jerk") (L5 to S2). Hold the foot in
dorsiflexion and strike the Achilles tendon directly . Feel the
normal response as the foot plantar flexes against your hand.
● Cremasteric Reflex (L1 to L2). This is not done routinely. On
the male lightly stroke the inner aspect of the thigh with the
reflex hammer or tongue bladeNote elevation of the ipsilateral
testicle ●Plantar Reflex (L4 to S2). Position the thigh in slight
external rotation. With the reflex hammer draw a light stroke up
the lateral side of the sole of the foot and inward across the ball
of the foot, like an upside-down J The normal response is plantar
flexion of the toes and inversion and flexion of the forefoot.
