Exam 14: Kinesiology Applications of Upper Extremity Adls

When lowering a box from an overhead position, the shoulder flexors contract __________ and the elbow extensors contract _____________.

The shoulder and elbow have different primary functions.

According to the example described in the textbook, which shoulder motions are dominant when sanding a block of wood?

From a kinesiological perspective, donning a pair of pants and socks is quite similar.

Approximately _______ $\degree$ of shoulder elevation is necessary to brush one's teeth in a normal manner.

The hand intrinsics are primarily responsible for maintaining a lateral prehension grip.

Of the following, which activity is dominated by motion and muscular action about the elbow?

What type of grasp is typically used when using a hammer?

When reaching overhead, motion at the glenohumeral joint is largely performed by the prime movers such as the pectoralis major and anterior deltoid.

For activities of daily living, the functional position of the wrist is slight:

Which daily activities require the most glenohumeral elevation range of motion?

The purpose of the shoulder is to position the hand for function.

When hammering a nail, the elbow typically achieves full extension.

What type of grasp is typically used during feeding?

During a slow "sanding activity," the scapular muscles become active after the glenohumeral muscles.

It is easier to compensate for a loss of supination compared with pronation range of motion.
