AROM
- Independently performed
- Contraindications
- Unstable fracture site
- Severe acute inflammation
- Medical instability
- Severe pain / joint swelling
- Benefits
- Maintain ROM
- Improve strength, endurance, & flexibility
- Increase local blood flow
- Increase sensory input
- Reduce effects of disuse
- Prevention of blood clots
O
Pt has a Stage l pressure ulcer on the superior potion of the sacrum
ROM rationale
- Prevent contractures
- Provide elongation of
- Muscles
- Ligaments
- Tendons
- Joint capsules
- Provide sensory stimulation
- Increase strength (A AA R ROM)
A
Pt is at increased risk for sacral pressure decubati due to poor bed mobility and sensation
A
Pt. is an excellent candidate for prosthetic
training with a free knee unit
A
Pt will benefit from work station evaluation to
improve sitting posture and minimize neck pain
