Terms

loading
radialis
travels down the radial side, performs radial deviation
palmaris
goes to the palm of hand
carpi
goes to one of the carpal bones
opponens
creates opposition in a joint
lumbricals
located on anterior, proximal, phalanges=Flexes fingers
palmar interossei
originates on front of hand=Adduct fingers
dorsal interossei
located on back of hand=Abduct fingers
brevis
the short muscle (means there is also a longus muscle)
longus
the long muscle (means there is also a brevis muscle)
profundus
goes to deeper location (means there is also a superficialis muscle)
superficialis
goes to surface location (means there is also a profundus muscle)
digitorum
goes to the middle fingers (and sometimes other fingers as well)
indicis
goes to the index finger
digiti minimi
goes to the little finger (pinky)
pollicis
goes to the thumb
ulnaris
travels down the ulnar side, performs ulnar deviation
agonist
prime mover, the muscle that causes a desired action
palpation
quality of touch
innervation
what spinal nerves stimulates muscular contraction
fixator
synergists that stabilize origin of the prime mover; works with the agonist to function more efficiently
passive movement
client does nothing, therapist does motion
active resistive
client moves, therapist resists
active assisted
client moves with therapist's help
eccentric
active lengthening of a muscle while continuing to contract
isotonic
produces motion across a joint
isometric
does NOT produce motion across a joint
action
movement produced when you pull insertion towards origin
-depends heavily on a joint that it crosses and how it crosses the joint
concentric
active shortening of a muscle
rotator
moves a bone around its longitudinal axis
tensor
makes a body part more rigid
sphincter
decreases the size (spherical) of an opening
pronator
turns the palm downward or posteriorly
supinator
turns the palm upward or anteriorly
depressor
produces downward movement
levator
produces an upward movement
Horizonatal Adductor
moves a bone closer to the midline around a superior/inferior axis
Horizontal Abductor
moves a bone away from the midline around a superior/inferior axis
Adductor
moves a bone closer to the midline around an anterior/posterior axis
Abductor
moves a bone away from the midline around an anterior/posterior axis
extensor
increase the angle at a joint; lengthens the msucle
flexor
decreases the angle at a joint; shortens the muscle
bilateral
muscular contraction takes place on both sides of the body
unilateral
muscular contraction takes place on one side of the body ONLY
muscle spindles
neuromuscular mechanism responsible for resisting a stretch
synergistic
muscle that performs the same action as another muscle
insertion
attachment of a muscle to a movable bone
origin
anchoring, fixed attachment of a muscle tendon to a stationary bone
antagonist
muscle opposing the prime mover
agonist
prime mover muscle
trauma
occurs as a result of physical injury by violent or disruptive action or by a toxic substance or as a result of a psychic caused by a short or long term severe emotional shock
dermatomes
a section of skin supplied by a single spinal nerve; are identified by the number of the nerve
prognosis
the expected outcome of a disease
idiopathic
describes a disease with unknown causes
proprioception
is the kinesthetic sense; sensory receptors receive information about position, rate of movement, contraction, tension, and stretch of tissues through the distortion and pressure on the sensory receptor; after proprioceptive sensory information is processed in the central nervous system, motor impulses carry the response back to muscles; muscles then contract or relax to restore or change posture, movement, or position
etiology
the study of all factors involved in causing a disease
