FMC (Unit 3 Story of Patient) Flashcards
How are screening tools used with patients?
They identify who may be at risk for poor clinical outcomes, and improve efficiency and effectiveness of care
How are outcome measures used with patients?
They assess a patients current status and ability, an track functional changes over time
What are two types of outcome measures?
Performance-Based
Self-Reported
When doing a PT examination, What components are you looking for when the patient is doing AROM?
-Quantity: Objective goni measurements
-Quality: How the patient is performing the movement pattern, willingness to move, and the tissue barrier to movement
-System Reproduction: What specific movements are painful and tie into specific tissue of involvement
When doing a PT examination, what components are you looking for when you are performing PROM on the patient?
Looking for tissue resistance (end-feel) and pain relationship:
-Quantity: Objective goni measurement
-Quality: How the patient is performing the movement pattern, willingness to move, and the tissue barrier to movement
-System Reproduction: What specific movements are painful and tie into specific tissue of involvement
When performing PROM on a patient and they feel Pain BEFORE any tissue (resistance), what would this tell you?
They are in Acute/Inflammatory stage of healing
When performing PROM on a patient and they feel pain WITH tissue stretch (resistance), what would this tell you?
They are in the Subacute/Proliferative stage of healing
When performing PROM on a patient and they feel pain FOLLOWING tissue stretch (resistance), what would this tell you?
They are in Chronic/Remodeling stage of healing
If active and passive ROM are limited/painful in the SAME direction, what would this tell you?
More than likely its an inert (Non-contractile) structure
{Nerve, Joint, Joint capsule, Blood vessel, Ligament, etc.}
If active and passive ROM are limited/painful in DIFFERENT directions, what would this tell you?
More than likely its a contractile structure
{Muscle / Tendon}
Should be Painful:Strong or Painless:Weak when performing isometric testing
