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.
