Your patient had a total knee replacement 2 days ago and she cannot fully extend the knee due to swelling and pain.  Which of the following knee flexion range of motion measurements indicates that this patient lacks full knee extension range of motion?

EXTRA CREDIT:  Your patient is in the standard testing position for goniometric measurement (ROM) for shoulder internal and external rotation.  The patient starts with the shoulder in neutral rotation, and in order to test the external rotation range of motion, you ask them to externally rotate.  When you demonstrate the motion that you want them to do, you keep your wrist in neutral the entire time. As the patient moves the shoulder into the requested position, what type of muscle contraction is occurring in the shoulder internal rotators?

When testing the strength of the left middle deltoid muscle, which of the following best describes where the stabilizing hand should be placed?

You are testing the strength of your patient’s bicep.  You put him in an Against Gravity position (standing) and ask him to bend his elbow.  You notice that he is able to flex his elbow through his full range of motion.  However, he is not able to tolerate any additional resistance.  Which of the following best describes the muscle grade for this patient?

Which of the following best describes how you would palpate the tibial tuberosity?

You are testing the strength of your patient’s quadriceps.  You put her in an Against Gravity position (short sitting) and ask her to extend her knee.  You notice that she is unsuccessful.  Therefore, you place her in a Gravity Eliminated position (sidelying).  You notice that she is now able to extend the knee through her full range of motion.  Which of the following best describes the muscle grade for this patient?

When you use your goniometer to measure the angle of a joint, which of the following are you always measuring?

Which of the following motions will assist you in palpating the greater trochanter?

EXTRA CREDIT:  Your patient is in the standard testing position for goniometric measurement (ROM) for shoulder internal and external rotation.  The patient starts with the shoulder in neutral rotation, and in order to test the external rotation range of motion, you ask them to externally rotate.  When you demonstrate the motion that you want them to do, you keep your wrist in neutral the entire time. As the patient moves the shoulder into the requested position, what type of muscle contraction is occurring in the wrist flexors?

You are testing the strength of your patient’s forearm supinator muscles.  To test for a grade 3, which of the following motions must the patient perform?
