QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS | GRADED
A+ | LATEST VERSION
What is an occupational profile? - ✔✔answers✔✔- gather information about the
clients interests, values, needs, and goals
what is the difference between the process and domain when defining OT? -
✔✔answers✔✔- the domain is the OT knowledge and expertise (they specialize is
knowing ab occupations, contexts, performance patterns, performance skills, and client
factors)
the process is the services that the OT provides (evaluation, intervention, and
outcomes)
What is biomechanics? - ✔✔answers✔✔- -application of kinematics (the study motion
of body w/o force) and kinetics (the study Forces that create motion) to mechanics of
human movement
- the study of motion and forces in relation to the body and physiological factors
What are the 3 planes of the body? - ✔✔answers✔✔- sagittal, frontal, transverse
what is the term for all 3 of the planes intersecting? - ✔✔answers✔✔- center of
gravity
what type of joint are synnarthosis joints? how much movement do they allow? 2
examples? - ✔✔answers✔✔- -fibrous joint connected by connective tissue or hyaline
cartilage
-joints are immovable
- ex. skill and tibiofibular joints
what type of joint are amphiathrosis joints? how much movement do they allow? 2
examples? - ✔✔answers✔✔- -cartilaginous joints
- slight movement
- ex. symphysis pubis and intervertebral joints
, what type of joints are diarthrosis joints? how much movement do they allow?
examples? - ✔✔answers✔✔- -synovial joints
-freely moveable
- hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, and ball and socket
What is osteokinematics? - ✔✔answers✔✔- movement of bones around a joint
what is the difference between linear and angular movement? give an example of using
them both at the same time. - ✔✔answers✔✔- linear and angular movements are
both all parts of the object moving at the same time and in the same direction but linear
travels in the same distance and angular travels different distances from the axis
What is arthrokinematics?
what is roll, slide, and spin? - ✔✔answers✔✔- -movement of joint surfaces
-roll: multiple pints of contact (ex. tire rotating on a paved road)
- slide: one point maintains constant contact (box pushed up a ramp)
-spin: one single point rotates around another single point (ex pivot joints)
what is the difference between concave on convex and convex on concave? -
✔✔answers✔✔- - concave on convex: When a concave joint moves on a convex joint
surface the roll and slide occur in the same directions
- convex on concave: When the convex joint moves on a fixed concave joint surface the
roll and slide occur in opposite directions
what are the differences between open and close chains? examples? -
✔✔answers✔✔- -open chain: a part of the body that isn't completely secure on
another surface (when feet are swaying in a chair or hands swaying in the air)
- closed chain: a part of the body is completely secure on another surface (ex. feet flat
on the floor or hands on the ground in a push up position)
what is joint congruency and its relationship between open and closed packed position?
- ✔✔answers✔✔- - how well joint surfaces match or fit together
- closed packed position: max contact between two joint surfaces (less movement
available)
- open packed position: position of joint capsule laxity (loose)
what must humans overcome to engage in occupations? - ✔✔answers✔✔- gravity-
have to be able to overcome gravity on our own before we can do work over gravity
What is the base of support? what can increase or decrease it? - ✔✔answers✔✔- -
part of the body that is in contact with the supporting surface (feet on the ground)
- friction between the ground and persons feet (ex. ice, carpet, hardwood)
