Study Notes
Muscle Testing
- The purpose of manual muscle testing is to assess the strength and function of a particular muscle or group of muscles.
Muscle Tests
- The "stand from sitting" test is an example of a functional muscle test.
Muscle Strength
- Muscular strength refers to the maximum amount of force that a muscle can generate.
Muscle Contractions
- A concentric contraction is a type of muscle contraction that involves the muscle changing from a position of full stretch to a position of maximal shortening.
Muscle Function
- Active insufficiency refers to the inability of a muscle to produce its maximum force due to its shortened length, resulting in a decrease in muscle function.
