Across
- 7. the system that regulates balance and spatial orientation by receiving feedback from the small organs in the inner ear and sending this information to the brain
- 8. type of balance during movement
- 9. nerve, one of 31 pairs of nerves that directly arise from the spinal cord and carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals
- 11. a fluid that travels in the vessels of the lymphatic system, part of the immune system, and removes cellular waste products, bacteria, and more to be filtered in the lymph nodes as fluid in the tissues is returned to central circulation
- 13. exercise, interventions that seek to address specific impairments through strengthening balance or mobility
- 15. often painful overstretching or tearing of ligaments around a joint that contributes to chronic instability
- 17. therapy hands-on techniques to facilitate neuromuscular activation, improve blood flow, downregulate the sympathetic nervous system
- 19. (posterior cruciate ligament) a band of connective tissue that connects the femur to the tibia and provides anterior-posterior stability
- 21. ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder
Down
- 1. dome-shaped musculotendinous sheet dividing the thoracic and abdominal cavities that is the primary muscle of respiration
- 2. a tenosynovitis of the APL and EPB tendons in the first extensor compartment
- 3. method of injury where a tendon is pulled from its bony attachment and cal also be associated with a fracture where a piece of the bone is pulled away with the tendinous attachment
- 4. assistive device that may have 2 or 4 wheels designed to provide stability during gait for individuals with balance deficits
- 5. plane of the scapula extending 30 degrees away from the midline
- 6. a potential non-musculoskeletal source of referred pain in the body
- 10. test a diagnostic evaluation that rules in or rules out a likely pathology
- 12. type of balance when the body is not moving
- 14. (anterior cruciate ligament) a band of connective tissue that connects the underside of the femur to the top of the tibia and provides posterior-anterior stability
- 16. fascia, dense connective tissue on the bottom of the foot that assists with shock absorption
- 18. abdominis, the deepest abdominal muscle that wraps around the lower abdomen from the thoracolumbar fascia posteriorly to meet anteriorly along the linea alba
- 20. alba a vertical line of connective tissue midway the rectus abdominis
- 21. the manner or style of an individual's walking
