- Ankle plantar flexion is 0-50°; inversion reaches 0-35° while eversion can extend to 0-20°.
Abnormal/Pathologic End-feels
- Soft end-feel occurs too early in ROM; can indicate conditions like soft tissue edema or synovitis.
- Firm end-feel also occurs in an unusual time frame or joint pattern, indicating potential neurological issues.
Spasticity & Muscle Tone
- Spasticity grades range from mild, where reflex occurs at muscle end-range, to severe, where reflex occurs at shortened muscle range.
- The Modified Ashworth Scale grades muscle tone from no increase to rigidity in flexion or extension.
Muscle Bulk and Edema
- Atrophy assessment involves measuring muscle circumference; significant edema is quantified via volumeter with >25ml change in displacement.
Deep Tendon Reflexes
- Reflexes graded as areflexive, normoreflexive, hyporeflexive, hyperreflexive, and clonus.
Hand Function
Grip and Pinch Strength
- Grip strength for males is max 30 kg; for females, it is 20 kg. Grading follows set ranges down to 0.
- Pinch strength for males ranges from 4-6 kg; for females, it starts at 2.4 kg upwards.
Prehension Patterns
- Gross prehension includes spherical, cylindrical, and hook patterns.
- Fine prehension involves tip-to-tip, pad-to-pad, and palmar prehension/three-jaw chuck patterns.
Dexterity
- Eye-hand coordination stabilizes proximal arms while distal arms move.
- Arm-hand coordination involves moving proximal arms while distal arms stabilize.
- Bilateral coordination uses both arms simultaneously.
Sensation
Protective and Discriminative Sensations
- Protopathic sensations include pain and temperature.
- Epicritic sensations encompass sharp/dull perception and two-point discrimination.
Visual-Perceptual Deficits
- Deficits include kinesthesia, proprioception, body scheme, and right/left discrimination.
- Apraxia can manifest in various forms, affecting actions, functions, and movements related to tool use.
Stroke & Aphasia
- Classification of aphasia covers naming, comprehension, fluency, and repetition functionality, with global aphasia being the most severe.
Motor Recovery Stages
- Brunnstrom stages detail recovery from flaccidity to well-coordinated movements as spasticity decreases.
Glasgow Coma Scale
- Scales for eye, verbal, and motor responses categorize levels of consciousness from spontaneous eye opening to absent response.
Spinal Cord Injury & Dermatome/Myo distribution
- Dermatomes map sensory areas, while myotomes correlate to specific muscle functions.
ASIA Impairment Scale
- Grades A to E define functional level from complete loss of sensation/motor control to normal function.
Burns Classification
- Burns are classified by degree from first (superficial with slight redness) to second degree (bright red, blistering, extremely painful) with varying healing times.
Osteoarthritis vs. Rheumatoid Arthritis
- OA is a non-inflammatory degenerative condition affecting predominantly older adults; RA is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder with systemic features, significant swelling, and joint involvement.
- Morning stiffness lasts less than 30 minutes in OA and exceeds one hour in RA.
