Joint Range of Motion

Question 6

t/f

The pads of the index and middle fingers are used for palpation. The thumb can be used sometimes for palpation

Answer 6

true

Question 7

In normal individuals, AROM is slightly greater than PROM because of the slight elasticity of soft tissue

t/f

Answer 7

false

Question 12

t/f

Answer 12

false

Question 13

what are the 3 basic planes/axis of movement

Answer 13

• sagittal
• coronal
• transversal

Question 14

the amount of motion at a given joint when the jt is moved by an outside force

Answer 14

Passive ROM

Question 15

t/f

In normal individual, AROM is slightly greater than PROM d/t slight elasticity of soft tissue

Answer 15

false

PROM; AROM

Question 16

motion where somebody else moves the joint but at the same time there is contraction to increase the ROM

Answer 16

Active Assisted ROM

Give examples of contraindications when assessing ROM

Answer 18

• jt. dislocation
• unhealed fx
• post op on any soft tissue surrounding the jt
• Myositis ossificans/ ectopic ossification

Answer 23

SOFT

Question 24

what should be the starting point for all jt motion

Answer 24

0 degrees

Question 25

what should be documented when evaluating ROM

Answer 25

• laterality (L/R)
• ROM
• end feel
• pain level (if any)
• Testing position
