Stabilization arm (SA) of the goniometer is a

Structural part that is attached to the body.

For ease of measurement the body, axis, & stabilizing arm should be placed directly on the clients

Joint & stable, nonmoving limb (closest to the clients body).

Reading the measurements on the goniometer will come from

Short end of the movement arm.


Long end of the movement arm

The short end of the goniometer is considered

The area from the axis to the bottom of the movement arm.

AB

The long end of the goniometer is considered the

Area from the axis upward toward the “ruler” looking section of the movement arm.

AR

By aligning the 2 arms parallel to the longitudinal access of the 2 segments involved in motion about a specific joint, it is

Possible to obtain relatively accurate measures of ROM.

The ability of the NS to recruit & activate muscles

Dictates muscle strength.

How strong

Understanding muscle strength & how to assess it entails what ?

Comprehensive knowledge of HM science.


Specifically functional anatomy.


Kinesiology. Bio mechanics.


Physiology. Motor control.

CSKBPM

What is manual muscle testing (MMT) a major component of?


What does it involve?

A comprehensive & integrated assessment process.


Testing muscle strength.

CIT

Testing muscle strength through manual muscle testing can provide an indication of

Neuromuscular recruitment.


Capability of the muscle to function during movement.


Provide stability

Want you to join the army.


Does it work? Mentally okay.


NCFP

What are the 2 other methods of evaluating muscle function that are more objective & reliable than MMT?

Isokinetic testing.


Dynamometry.

ID

Isokinetic testing : is a muscle strength testing performed with

A specialized apparatus, providing variable resistance to a movement.


No matter how much effort is exerted, the movement takes place at a constant speed.

Pear. VR


Time and ... EC

Such a testing as Isokinetic testing is used to

Assess & improve muscular strength & endurance, especially after an injury.

AME

The premise behind MMT is to place the

Desired muscle in a position that will induce resistance against it.

DPR


If you are not for me, you are ...

Dynamometry is the process of

Measuring forces at work using a handheld instrument (dynamometer) that measures the force of muscular contraction.

A ruler is used to ...


Air ... ones


. It is in the name.

Impairment of the HMS alters muscle balance, muscle recruitment, & joint motion. This impairment affects the ability of the

MS, NS, & SS to function interdependently and effectively perform their functional tasks, which may ultimately result in injury.

Systems IEF

Weakness of the hip adductors (gluteus medias) is associated with

Patella femoral pain.


IT-Band syndrome.


Overall lower extremity injury.

PIO

Weakness of the gluteus medias, which is the primary frontal plane stabilizer of the femur. Is is associated with

Overactivity (synergistic dominance) of the TFL.

When overactive, the TFL can cause increased

Tension throughout the IT-Band & lateral knee (IT-Band syndrome).

His shoulders were so ... IL

The TFL can cause external rotation of

The tibia, placing increased stress on the tibiofemoral & patellofemoral joints.

... me out. TP

IT-Band Syndrome

Continual rubbing of the IT-Band over the lateral femoral epicondyle leading to the area becoming inflamed.

... your eye because it itches.


LFE on fire.

The MMT is an assessment process used to test the

Recruitment capacity & contraction quality of individual muscles or movements.

Military wants you to join.


CQ

Although many motions are the results of more than one muscle working, emphasis can be placed

On a particular muscle through proper positioning.

Triple P

What has been termed as a break test?

Isometric MMT process.

Break test

At the end of available range.


A point in the range where the muscle is most challenged.

... of the road.


It is not polite to ... MC

What is the client asked to do during a break test?

To hold that position & not allow the examiner to “break” the hold with manual resistance.

... labor

What is said to be the most common and easiest isometric MMT process?

Break test.

What are confounding factors of an isometric test?

Speed of contraction.


Varying resistance in different positions & directions.

The Flash.


Results may ...

An isometric test is ____ to perform, theoretically it should be more ____, because _____, are removed.

Easier to perform.


Be more reliable.


Confounding factors.

The ability of the client to withstand various levels of resistance will render

A specific grade, usually numerical. 0-5 scale.

What grading system has NASM chosen to use for MMT?

A 2-step isometric MMT process grade with a simple 3 point grading system.

Jordan year. IMP

MMT 6 point grading system : 0-5

0 - no activity.


1 - trace activity.


2 - Poor.


3 - fair.


4 - good.


5 - normal.

Bad to better

NASM 3-point grading system : 1-3

1 - normal.


2 - compensates (uses other muscle’s)


3 - weak (Little to no activity)

More points to win

When are more extensive grading systems recommended?

When the purpose of the MMT is to determine prognosis versus diagnosis or evaluation.

PED

When a client maintains good structural alignment & holds the end range position against the assessors pressure, this indicates

A pure isometric contraction being present.

The target is ...

Compensations from other muscles or failure to maintain isometric contraction will be evident by

Alteration of body or limb position occurring with increased pressure from the assessor.

Dress ... to fit. PI
