WorksheetsFM Week 4 - Review #1
Total questions: 5
Worksheet time: 3mins
Your patient is presenting with 90 degrees of shoulder abduction with AROM. When you move them through PROM, it increases to 170. What are some possible reason(s) PROM > AROM?
tendon dysfunction
capsular tightness
edema
pain
You have a patient who is presenting with MMT 3+ and 120 degrees ROM in shoulder flexion, and MMT of 3 and 130 degrees in shoulder ABD. What do you focus on first?
Strengthening in Flexion
Increasing AROM in Flexion
Strengthening in ABD
Increasing AROM in ABD
SAID Principle:
activating more units leads to increased muscle tension
choice of strengthening activity should be related to the activity you want to improve performance on
strength increases only if the load is > than the typical load for the muscle and is applied to the point of fatigue
(a) is the age related, involuntary loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. With variable cause, there is atrophy in all types of fibers (especially Type II), decreased force production, and an increased time in ability to contract and relax.
While doing an initial eval of a new client, you test their ROM and MMT. They reach an AROM of 150 in shoulder flexion. Always a rule follower, you begin by applying light resistance and increasing to maximal resistance over a period of about 2.5 seconds. The muscle breaks around 2 seconds in. What is the score of MMT?
