What causes a springy end feel?

The springy end feel is always abnormal. There is a spring, or rebound, before the normal end range of motion, and it may be painful. The most common example of springy end feel is the meniscus in stifle extension when the canine patient has a medial meniscal tear. An empty end feel is also always abnormal.

What is a spasm end feel?

Muscle Spasm When a muscle is in spasm, there is likely to be some limitation of ROM as well as considerable pain, particularly when end of range is approached. The client may recoil and report pain as ROM is progressed, giving a similar feel to a spongy block.

When assessing movement a soft end feel is the?

Soft Tissue Approximation – indicates that subcutaneous tissues (muscle bulk, fat) are pushing against each other and limiting the ROM. Feels like squeezing two balloons together. Example – calf pressing against thigh during knee flexion. Springy – indicates that a loose body is limiting the ROM.

What is the normal end feel for knee extension?

Normal end-feels for knee extension are firm (capsular/ligamentous) with the hip extended and firm (muscular) with the hip flexed.

What does a boggy end feel mean?

Boggy or Soft End Feel – occurs if you have a joint effusion or edema – mushy with soft quality to it -may indicate acute inflammation. Example: acute moderate to severe sprain, ligamentous injury.

What is the end feel for pronation?

The typical end-feel for forearm supination is firm as a result of ligamentous tension. Because bony contact limits pronation, the normal end-feel for that motion is hard.

What does boggy end feel mean?

What are the types of mobilization?

What is the convex concave rule?

The concave-convex rule states that if a concave surface moves on a convex surface, roll and slide must occur in the same direction, and if a convex surface moves on a concave surface, roll and slide occurs in opposite directions.

What nerve does pronation?

The median nerve passes between the two heads of pronator teres as it enters the forearm. Pronator teres inserts here, halfway down the lateral surface of the radius. Here’s its action: pronation.

What causes a knocking noise when hydraulic fluid is compressed?

Abnormal Noise. This causes the absolute pressure in that part of the circuit to fall below the vapor pressure of the hydraulic fluid. This results in the formation of vapor cavities within the fluid, which implode when compressed, causing a characteristic knocking noise.

What causes the stick slip effect in hydraulic fluid?

As 7 A 1 As 8 A 1. hydraulic fluid dirty 2. hydraulic fluid foams 1. Stick-slip effect due to the friction of the cylinder packings being too high. 2.

What are the symptoms of a hydraulic system problem?

A reduction in machine performance is often the first indication that there is something wrong with a hydraulic system. This usually manifests itself in longer cycle times or slow operation. It is important to remember that in a hydraulic system, flow determines actuator speed and response. Therefore, a loss of speed indicates a loss of flow.

Why is my mobile hydraulics not working properly?

There was a bit of scuffing on the jam nut for one of the two shock relief valves in the bucket curl section. It appeared as though just one of the two shock relief valves had been adjusted by someone.
