Chapter 6: Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis

Normal range of motion for shoulder flexion is

0-180

Normal range of motion for wrist flex ion is

0-80

A muscle that can move through the complete range of motion against gravity with moderate overload is graded as a

4

A modular, firm, movable, and often linear mass of hyperplastic scar tissue is:

A keloid

An advantage of testing muscle strength throughout the full range of motion is that:

A painful arc of motion can be identified

Movements within the joint that accompany traditional active and PROM but cannot be performed voluntarily by the individual are termed:

Accessory movements

What type of movement determines possible damage to contractile tissue and measures movement coordination?

Active range of motion

A form of radiography that produces a 3-D cross sectional picture of a body part is:

CT scan

A potential cause of morning pain with stiffness that improves with activity is:

Chronic inflammation with edema

The position in the ROM in which two joint surfaces fit precisely together is termed the:

Close pack position

The position in the ROM in which two joint surfaces fit precisely together is termed the

Close packed position

A condition that will be adversely affected if a particular action is taken is referred to as a

Contraindication

As part of the assessment component of an injury evaluation, which of the following would be considered a short-term goal?

Control of inflammation

Which type of pain is described as diffuse or nagging, as if intense pressure is being exerted on the structures, and may be complicated by stabbing pain?

Deep somatic pain

The sensory component of a nerve root is tested using a:

Dermatome

Which if the following best illustrates a diagnostic sign?

Edema

The escape of fluid from the blood vessels into the joint cavity is called:

Effusion

The C6 myotome is tested with:

Elbow flexion and wrist extension

During PROM, a gentle overpressure applied at the end of the ROM is used to determine:

End feel

A muscle that can move through the complete range of motion against gravity with no overload is graded

Fair

A muscle that can move through some, but not complete, ROM against gravity is graded as

Fair-

Decreased tactile sensation is termed:

Hypoesthesia

Palpation of crepitus over tendon or bursa could indicate:

Inflammation

As part of injury assessment, when asking about the characteristics of symptoms, the athletic trainer should determine:

Location, onset, severity, frequency, and duration

The position in the ROM in which the joint is under the least amount of stress is termed the:

Loose pack position

An excellent tool for visualizing the CNS, musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular system is an

MRI

Which if the following is a deep tendon reflex

Medial hamstrings

A radiograph that uses an opaque dye that is introduced into the spinal canal is a:

Myelogram

When using a goniometer to measure ROM, the stationary arm of the goniometer is placed ______ to the proximal none of the joint being tested.

Parallel

Which if the following is a superficial reflex?

Plantar

Internal hemorrhage is characterized by a:

Rapid and weak pulse

A type of visceral pain that travels along the same pathways as somatic pain is termed:

Referred pain

The most common type of pain encountered in musculoskeletal injuries is known as:

Somatic pain

Testing for specific body parts or areas as a means of detecting injury or related pathology and, generally, occur across planes and are not graded are referred to as

Special tests

Information provided by the injured individual regarding the perception of the problem is termed a:

Symptom

Which if the following best illustrates a symptom?

Tinnitus
