Q

What are the 6 principles for PROM exercises?

A
  1. Provide gentile, firm support and proper stabilization
  2. Move through the entire unrestricted, normal ROM of a joint
  3. Give special consideration to multi-joint muscles
  4. Give special consideration to how the patients diagnosis affects the exercise program (ex: SCI, THA, CVA)
  5. Position patient properly
  6. Determine purpose (goals) and sequence

Q

What 6 things should you do in order to prepare for AROM exercises?

A
  1. Evaluate the patient
  2. Complete a thorough chart review
  3. Determine goals and appropriate types of exercise to use
  4. Give proper introduction including an explanation of the purpose, risks, and desired outcomes of AROM
  5. Obtain informed consent
  6. Position the patient and yourself

Q

There are 3 types of muscle contractions, what are they?

A
  1. Isotonic: visible joint motion when muscle contracts
    - Concentric: shortening
    - Eccentric: lengthening
  2. Isometric: little or no observable joint motion and change in length of muscle
  3. Isokinetic: requires specialized equipment

18
Q

What insurance company uses GG levels of assist?

A

Medicare

19
Q

Describe the scores on the GG scale.

A

1: Dependent
2: Substantial Assistance
3: Partial Assistance
4: Supervision/ Touching
5: Setup
6: Independent
7: Refused
9: Not Applicable
10: Not attempted due to environmental limitations
88: Not attempted due to medical condition/ safety

20
Q

What does independent on the GG scale mean?

A

Patient/ resident safely completes the activity by themselves with no assistance from a helper (ex: gets out of bed and showers)

21
Q

What does setup or clean up assistance mean on the GG scale?

A

Helper sets up or cleans up; patient/ resident completes activity. Helper assists only prior to or following the acitivity (Ex: PT or OT come in to move sheets so pt can get out of bed and set up shower, but pt gets out of bed and showers on their own and PT/OT are able to leave)

22
Q

What does supervision or touching assistance mean on the GG scale?

A

Helper provides verbal cues and/ or touching/ steading and/ or contact guard (ex: PT or OT are within arms reach for getting out of bed and showering but pt is able to do with with verbal cues and steading hand from PT as needed)

23
Q

What does Partial/moderate assistance on the GG scale mean?

A

Helper does less than half the effort. Helper lifts, holds or supports trunk or limbs but provides less than half the effort

24
Q

What does substantial/ maximal assistance mean on the GG scale?

A

Helper does more than half of the effort. helper lifts or holds the trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort

25
Q

What does dependent mean on the GG scale?

A

Helper does all the effort. Patient/ resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Or, the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the patient/ resident to complete the activity

26
Q

What does not applicable mean on the GG scale?

A

Resident did not preform this activity prior to current injury, exacerbation, or injury (Ex: an individual with paraplegia may not walk before coming in so gait will be “9: not applicable”)
