Kinesiology Final Review

Front

What is the position of the elbow to isolate the supinator during a manual muscle test?

Back

Terminal elbow extension.

Front

Which nerve affects all muscles of the posterior compartment of the lower leg?

Back

Tibial nerve.

Front

What muscle group is most affected by a partial tear of the infraspinatus muscle?

Back

Shoulder external rotators.

Front

What is the likely result of injury to the musculocutaneous nerve?

Back

Elbow flexor weakness.

Front

What is the intercondylar groove?

Back

The smooth, rounded area between the femoral condyles that articulates with the posterior surface of the patella.

Front

What is the primary function of the supinator muscle?

Back

To supinate the forearm.

Front

What are the main muscles involved in shoulder external rotation?

Back

Infraspinatus and teres minor.

Front

What is the role of the tibial nerve in the lower leg?

Back

It innervates the muscles of the posterior compartment, including the calf muscles.

Front

What is the significance of terminal elbow extension in muscle testing?

Back

It minimizes the action of the biceps, allowing for isolation of the supinator.

Front

What are the consequences of musculocutaneous nerve injury?

Back

Weakness in elbow flexion and sensory loss in the lateral forearm.
