Evaluation of Joint Mobility and Stability Flashcards
Type of ROM wherein joint is moved by the muscles that act on the joint
ACTIVE RANGE OF MOTION
Normal end feel of Hip flexion
SOFT-END FEEL
Normal ROM of shoulder flexion
0-170 DEGREES
At which side should the therapist be positioned when measuring right wrist flexion
right
It is the arc of motion through which a joint passes when moving within a specific plane
Joint Range of Motion
t/f
The pads of the index and middle fingers are used for palpation. The thumb can be used sometimes for palpation
true
In normal individuals, AROM is slightly greater than PROM because of the slight elasticity of soft tissue
t/f
false
Normal ROM of knee flexion
0-135 DEGREES
Formation of bone outside the normal bone structure/areas
ECTOPIC OSSIFICATION
Position of fingers during wrist flexion
relaxed
Normal end feel of shoulder internal rotation
FIRM END-FEEL
t/f
Bone carcinoma is considered as a contraindication to joint ROM
false
what are the 3 basic planes/axis of movement
- sagittal
- coronal
- transversal
the amount of motion at a given joint when the jt is moved by an outside force
Passive ROM
t/f
In normal individual, AROM is slightly greater than PROM d/t slight elasticity of soft tissue
false
PROM; AROM
motion where somebody else moves the joint but at the same time there is contraction to increase the ROM
Active Assisted ROM
Procedure where therapist feel body landmarks and soft tissue
Palpation
Give examples of contraindications when assessing ROM
- jt. dislocation
- unhealed fx
- post op on any soft tissue surrounding the jt
- Myositis ossificans/ ectopic ossification
type of end feel that is limited (ROM) due to normal anatomic structure
Normal end feel
type of end feel that is limited (ROM) due to other structures other than normal anatomy
Abnormal end feel
type of end feel where there is a springy sensation
FIRM
type of end feel that feels like there is bone contracting bone
HARD
type of end feel where there is presence of soft tissue apposition
SOFT
what should be the starting point for all jt motion
0 degrees
