ANMT LumboPelvic Module

Well Straight Leg Raising Test:

Positive test indicative of nerve root inflammation or disk herniation

What is the smallest contractile unit of a muscle:

Sarcomere

Passive lateral rotation of the hip would:

Shorten gluteus maximus

A syndrome characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal that can impinge the spinal cord resulting in burning and tingling bilaterally is known as:

Spinal stenosis

A postural position resulting in hip extension from an anterior shift of the pelvis is called :

Swayback

The main actions of the internal oblique muscles are:

Trunk flexion, lateral flexion, rotation

Straight Leg raise test:

0-30 degrees = Hip problem or nerve inflammation 30-60 degrees = sciatic nerve involvement w/ ankle dorsiflexion = nerve root 70-90 degrees = sacroiliac joint pathology

The outer periphery of the intervertebral disk is composed of strong fibrous tissue called:

Annulus fibrosis

What mineral is needed for the actin and myosin bonds to form and create a muscle contraction:

Calcium

A force that, with enough energy, crushes tissue is a:

Compression force

What is the property that allows a tissue to return to normal following deformation:

Elasticity

The major muscle of back extension is the:

Erector Spinae

Which test are used to assess sacroiliac joint dysfunction:

FABER, Compression/Distraction and Anterior/Posterior tilt

Which muscles commonly spasm when a person catches himself in a fall:

Gluteu medius, gluteus minimus and quadratus lumborum

Locating the coccyx, the posterior two inches of the iliac rest and the gluteal tuberosity will help you to outline which muscle:

Gluteus Maximus

Which gluteal muscle has the ability to flex and extend the hip, but not simultaneously:

Gluteus Medius

Of the gluteal muscles which is the most posterior and superficial

Gluteus maximus

To palpate gluteus minimus, you will need to palpate through which muscle:

Gluteus medius

What is the term used to describe the first fragile repair fibers:

Granulation

A protrusion of the abdominal viscera through a portion of the abdominal wall is called a:

Hernia

To locate both gluteus medius and minimus in a sidelying position, you could ask your client to perform:

Hip abduction

What are two actions common to all the muscles of the adductor group:

Hip adduction and medial rotation of the hip

The strongest ligament of the body that prevents hyperextension of the hip:

Iliofemoral ligament or Y ligament of Bigolow

The Bowstring Test is used to determine:

Irritation of the sciatic nerve

Seventy five percent of back flexion occurs at the joint between:

L5-S1

Passive adduction of the hip would:

Lengthen gluteus medius

Passive lateral rotation of the hip would:

Lengthen gluteus minimus

Passive flexion of the hip would;

Lengthen the gluteus maximus

Which muscles are part of the erector spinae muscle group:

Longissimus, Iliocostalis, Spinalis

What stage of the healing cycle has the goals of increasing circulation and preventing the development of adhesions:

Maturation

The muscle most responsible for holding the abdominal contents in place and aiding in forced expiration is the:

Transverse abdominis

A unique characteristic of ligaments and joint capsules is their rapid healing precess because the rich blood supply feeding the joint.

false

All vertebrae have a body and spinous process:

false

In a typical vertical alignmet, a pumb line handing from the ear down should pass just in front of the knee joint in front of the knee joint and patella:

false

The first two vertebrae are different from the other vertebrae in that they do not have a spinous process:

false

The Kendall and Thomas test determin the extent of:

flexion contactures

The approximate duration of the subacute stage healing is:

from day 4 post trauma to 6 weeks

Passive abduction of the hip would:

lenghten adductor brevis and longus

A motor unit is made up of a single motor neuron and

several muscle fibers

Passive medial rotation of the hip would:

shorten the adductors

Passive extension of the hip would:

shorten the posterior fibers of adductor magnus

A spinal segments progress downward they grow inreasingly larger to accomodate the upright posture of the body:

true

PNF techniques have been very successful in increasing the rang e of motion and reducing the lost pelvic lumbar rhythm and proprioception:

true

Stress forces become concentrated where bones change shape and direction, leaving them prone to fracture:

true

Tenosynovitis is an inflammation of the sheath covering the tendon:

true

The cervical and lumbar regions of the spine allow extension and flexion:

true
