Question | Answer |
---|---|
Body types | ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph |
Ectomorph | slender, thing build, relatibely lower body weight, joint shape-small, flat surfaces-muscle mass-minima muscle bulk, thin muscles, joint mob-increased, joint stability-decreased |
mesomorph | medium, athletic build, relatibely average body weight, joint shape-medium joint surfaces, muscle mass-mudium build, joint mobility-WNL, joint stability-WNL |
endomorph | short, stocky build, relatibely high body weight, joint shape-large concave-convex joint surfaces, muscle mass-thick, joint mobility-decreased, joint stability-increased |
lordosis- | increased posterior concavity of lumbar and cervical curves |
kyphosis | increased concavity of the thoracic spine |
lumbar kyphosis | reduction of normal lordotic curve, resulting in flat back appearance |
scoliosis | lateral curvature or sideways deviation of the spine |
ideal posture | plumb line or grid-from external auditory meatus through shoulder down mid axillary line, greater trochanter, posterior to patella, lateral malleolus |
Flat back | posterior rotated pelvis, tight hamstrings, stretched erector spinae |
hyper lordotic back | weak abs, tight erector spinae, tight hip flexors |
kyphotic lordotic | compensatory, rounded shoulders, anterior tilted pelvis |
Leg Length | umbillicus to malleolus-only used if thur leg length is different ASIS to medial malleolus-true leg lenth tibial height, pelvic height |
genu valgus | knock knee, squintign patella |
genu varum | bowlegged, tibial varum |
genu recurvatum | hyperextension of the knee |
