Study Notes

Terminology in Physiotherapy

Muscle excursion is subjectively described using three subdivisions: outer range, inner range, and middle range.
Muscle length testing involves elongating the muscle in the direction opposite of its action while assessing its resistance to passive movement.
Goniometry measures the angle that a joint moves in active or passive range of motion.
Active Assisted Range of Motion (AAROM) involves movement of a joint or limb with some effort from the patient and some assistance from an outside force.
Passive movements are produced entirely by an external force, involving no muscle work.
Physiological movements are achieved actively through the patient's muscle contraction, while accessory movements can only be achieved by an external force.
Balance is the ability to align body segments against gravity to maintain or move the body within the available base of support without falling.
Cardiopulmonary fitness is the ability to perform low-intensity, repetitive, total body movements over an extended period of time.
Flexibility is the ability to move freely without restriction, used interchangeably with mobility.
Muscle performance encompasses strength, power, and muscular endurance.
Joint stability is the maintenance of proper alignment of bony partners of a joint through passive and dynamic components.
End-feels refer to the sensation or feeling detected when a joint is at the end of its available passive range of motion.
