Physical Therapy
Accessory motion - correct answers-ability of the joint surfaces to glide, roll, and spin on
one another
active assisted range of motion - correct answers-joint movement in which the patient
may be assisted either manually or mechanically through an arc of movement
active range of motion (AROM) - correct answers-ability of the patient to voluntarily
move a limb through an arc of movement
active resisted exercise - correct answers-joint movement in which an external force
resists the movement
activities of daily living (ADLS) - correct answers-activities in which individuals
participates daily to meet their basic needs
adaptive equipment - correct answers-pieces of equipment that allow individuals to
perform functional tasks with increased ease or independence
aerobic training - correct answers-exercise program that uses oxygen as the major
energy source
akinesia - correct answers-poverty of movements
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) - correct answers-also known as Lou Gehrig's
disease; rapidly progressive neurological disorder associated with a degeneration of the
motor nerve cells
anencephaly - correct answers-a form of neural tube defect that results from a lack of
the neural tube closure at the base of the brain. It is not compatible with life and results
in fetal death or death shortly after delivery
angina - correct answers-condition in which chest pain occurs from ischemia
angiography - correct answers-technique in which radiopaque material is injected into
the blood vessels to better visualize and identify problem such as occlusion (blockage)
of blood vessels, aneurysms, and vascular malformations
aquatic physical therapy - correct answers-Therapeutic use of water for rehabilitation or
prevention of injury
arterial insufficiency - correct answers-deficiency or occlusion of blood flow through an
artery
arteriosclerosis - correct answers-hardening of the arteries
assessment - correct answers-measurement or assigned value by which physical
therapists make a clinical judgement
assistive device - correct answers-device that provides individuals with assistance to
perform tasks or during periods of mobility
autism - correct answers-A neural developmental disorder characterized by impairments
in social interaction, communication skills, and repetitive behaviors
autonomous practice - correct answers-services provided by physical therapists using
independent, professional judgement within their scope of practice
bariatrics - correct answers-Area of health care that deals with the origin, prevention,
and treatment of obesity
blood gas analysis - correct answers-assessment of blood (usually arterial) to determine
the con-centrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide
bradykinesia - correct answers-slowness of movements
, brunnstrom approach - correct answers-neurologic technique based on the natural
sequence of recovery after stroke
bursitis - correct answers-inflammation of bursae, fluid-filled sacs located throughout the
body that decrease the friction between two structures
cardiac catheterization - correct answers-passage of a catheter (a flexible tube) into an
artery in the arm or leg, then along the artery to reach the heart and measure pressure,
inject dye, or take a tissue sample
cardiac muscle dysfunction - correct answers-various pathologic conditions associated
with heart failure
cardiac pacemaker - correct answers-electronic device that produces a pulse to control
heart depolarization
cerebral palsy (CP) - correct answers-group of conditions caused by a nonprogressive
lesion on the brain. Most often CP has origin during gestation (before birth), at birth, or
immediately after birth and is caused by an interruption of oxygen to the brain of the
fetus or newborn
certification - correct answers-process by which state legally regulates the use of
professional title without creating a separate scope of practice. state law will not permit
use of the title unless state standards are met. This differs from the private certification
offered by private organizations for meeting the standards of that organization.
CHAPTER

that produce certain specific physical symptoms, including chronic productive cough,

remedies; the administration of justice involving the violation of private duties owed by
individuals

maintain health, or a business that hires a physical therapist as a consultant

collagen - correct answers-supportive, strong, and fibrous connective tissue protein that
is found in the dermis, tendon, cartilage, fascia, ligament, and bone
common law - correct answers-law created by court decision rather than by legislative
action
computed (axial) tomography (CAT or CT) - correct answers-computer synthesis of x
rays transmitted through a specific plane of the body
conducting airways - correct answers-passageways and tubes that allow air to pass into
or out of the lungs
congestive heart failure (CHF) - correct answers-condition in which the heart muscle is
compromised to the point that it cannot move blood volume effectively
