Correct Answers
Nonsynovial joints Correct answer-Joints that do not have a joint cavity, connective tissue, or
cartilage.
synovial joints Correct answer-created where two bones articulate to permit a variety of motions;
freely movable joint
muscle Correct answer-tissue composed of fibers that can contract, causing movement of an organ
or part of the body
flexion Correct answer-bending limb at joint
extension Correct answer-straightening limb at joint
abduction Correct answer-moving limb away from midline of body
adduction Correct answer-moving limb toward midline of body
pronation Correct answer-turning forearm so that palm is down
supination Correct answer-turning forearm so that palm is up
circumduction Correct answer-moving arm in circle around shoulder
inversion Correct answer-moving sole of foot inward at ankle
eversion Correct answer-moving sole of foot outward at ankle
rotation Correct answer-moving head around central axis
protraction Correct answer-moving body part forward, parallel to ground
retraction Correct answer-moving body part backward, parallel to ground
elevation Correct answer-raising a body part
depression Correct answer-lowering a body part
wht spinous processes are prominent at the base of the neck Correct answer-C7 and T1
Inferior angle of scapula normally at level of interspace between Correct answer-T& and T8
Imaginary line connecting highest point on each iliac crest crosses Correct answer-L4
fetus bone and muscle development Correct answer-skeleton of cartilage by 3 months
adolescents bone and muscle development Correct answer-rapid growth
, adulthood bone and muscle development Correct answer-Longitudinal growth continues until
about 20
After 40, bone resorption _____ and deposition _____ Correct answer-increases
decreases
aging adult: postural changes Correct answer--Decreased height
-Kyphosis
aging adult: subQ fat Correct answer-Different distribution
-Decreases in forearms
-More apparent in abdomen/hips
In eighties and nineties, fat further decreases in... Correct answer-periphery, especially noticeable
in forearms and apparent over abdomen and hips
aging adult: bony prominences Correct answer-Loss of subcutaneous fat leaves bony prominences
more marked
aging adult: muscle mass Correct answer-o Absolute loss in muscle mass occurs; some decrease in
size, and some atrophy, producing weakness
o Lifestyle affects musculoskeletal changes (activity level affects M/S)
functional assessment of ADLs Correct answer-Bathing, toileting, dressing, grooming, eating,
mobility, communicating
self care behaviors: muscles/joints Correct answer-Occupational hazards, exercise program, recent
weight gain, medications, chronic disability or crippling illness
purpose of M/S exam Correct answer-o Assess function for ADLs
o Screen for abnormalities
what is the orderly approach for a physical exam Correct answer-head to toe, proximal to distal,
and from midline outward
Compare corresponding paired joints: Correct answer-Expect symmetry of structure and function
and normal parameters for each joint
order of examination for M/S Correct answer-inspection
palpation
range of motion
muscle testing
Active voluntary ROM Correct answer-pt moves joint area while you are stabilizing the body area
proximal to that being moved
what do you do if a patient has ROM limitations Correct answer-gently attempt passive motion;
anchor joint with one hand while other hand slowly moves it to its limit; normal ranges of active and
passive motion should be same
Joint motion normally causes... Correct answer-no tenderness, pain, or crepitation
