what is height loss due to?
thinner intervertebral discs, osteoprosis, kyphosis
-
Flexion, Extension, Hyperextension, supination, pronation, abduction, adduction, dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, eversion, inversion. these are all used to describe ROM so what do they mena?
- flexion- decrease the angle
- extension- extend the anlge
- hypextension- extreme extension
- supination- ventral surface facing up
- pronation- ventral surface facing down
- abduction- move extremity toward the midline
- adduction- move extremity toward midline
- dorsiflexion- movement toward the dorsum
- plantar- movement toward the plantar surface
- eversion- turn away from midline
- inversion- turn toward midline
-
defn kyphosis and lordosis
- kyphosis- exaggerated curvature of the thoracic spine
- lordosis- exaggerated curvature of the lumbar spine
-
what do joints need to be assessed for?
- warmth
- inflammation
- crepitus
- deformities
- tenderness
- limitations
- instability
-
what joints need to be assesed?
- temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
- shoulders
- elbows
- wrists and hands
- spine scoliosis
- hips
- knees
- ankles and feet
-
how do you assess for scoliosis?
- instruct the client to bend at the waist w/ arms reaching for toes
- inspect and palpate down the spine using thumb and forefinger
- inspect and palpate the spine again w/ client standing
- expected finding: no tenderness w/ spinal bertebrae midline
