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.
