Evaluation - 3 Flashcards
objective: observing the sources of the sxs
what do we use to observe the sxs
ROM
tissue characteristics
special tests
ROM
selective tissue tension testing
PROM
AROM
resistive
PROM –> ROM
cardinal planes of movement
accessory movements/joint play
generic options for dx
musculotendinous
capsulo-ligamentous
intra-articular
extra-articular
selective tissue testing includes
resistive, AROM, passive accessory and passive physiologic ROM
what do we consider when assessing ROM
3 Rs
reactivity
range
resistance
reactivity –> 3 Rs
does it hurt
comparable signs
range –> 3 Rs
too much
just right
too little
resistance –> 3 Rs
quality good v. bad
end feel
AROM range
more important is patterns of loss
capsular patterns
AROM reactivity
how easily is it aggravated?
how quickly does it settle down?
does it effect activity/participation?
pain is a –> AROM reactivity
comparable sign
AROM reactivity –> pain location and behavior
painful arc
end range pain
through the range pain
AROM resistance –> quality
smooth at all speeds
antagonists relax
no restraint to movement
no compensations
no joint noise
physiologic ROM
osteokinematic
what is physiologic ROM
bone motion (volitional)
generally rolling of bone
accessory ROM
arthrokinematics
what is accessory ROM
gliding, distraction and spinning
not volitional
assess after physiologic
how do we assess ROM
active
physiologic (PROM)
accessory (PROM)
how is physiologic done
through the range
what does physiologic eliminate
muscle contraction
how is passive physiologic graded
over pressure at end range
grading –> passive physiologic
easy <–> medium <–> hard
end feel (resistance)
reactive
range
big picture –> range
hypo
normal
hyper
big picture –> resistance
normal end feel
abnormal end feel
big picture –> reactivity
No or yes
