Key Points On ReMex + ROM

Question 1

uses of a combination of active and passive exercises to restore and improve the client’s musculoskeletal health. This is used by therapist during treatment and by the client after treatment as self care.

Answer 1

Remedial Exercise

Question 2

3 Main categories of REMEDIAL exercises are?

Answer 2

ROM, stretching and resistance exercise

Question 3

It is the motion allowed by the shape of the joint and the soft tissue surrounding it which occurs in planes.

Answer 3

Range of Motion (ROM)

Question 4

This organ cell determine the degree of angulation of a joint by detecting the stretch placed on tissues and joint capsule.

Answer 4

Proprioceptive Nerve Receptor called Ruffini’s End Organ

Question 5

This is the distance that a muscle can shorten from the point of maximum lenghtening to the point of maximum contraction.

Answer 5

Range of Muscle or Functional Excursion

Question 6

When a muscle contracts. it moves the joint or joints that crosses it; and the muscles and joints that crosses is described as a position from where the muscle is completely shortened to where the muscle is half way thru its full range and this is called?

Answer 6

Inner Range

Question 7

The muscle and joint that it crosses is a position from half way thru the full range to where the muscle ia fully stretch is called?

Answer 7

Outer Range

Question 8

The segment from the midpoint of the inner range to the midpoint of outer range is called?

Answer 8

Mid Range

Question 9

Performed when client actively contracts the muscle crossing a joint, moving a joint thru unrestricted range.

Answer 9

Active Free ROM (AFROM)

Question 10

It maintains joint ROM, proprioception, circulation and lymphatic flow, successive action of the joint and some muscle strength.

Answer 10

Effects of AFROM

Question 11

It is an active free ROM performed when assistance is required by the client to complete the active motion; used when a client has decreased muscle strength. Effects is same qith AFROM

Answer 11

Active Assisted ROM (AAROM)

Question 12

It is a movement within the unrestricted ROM that is produced by an external force: the therapist, gravity or other part of the client’s body. The client is NOT contracting the muscles- it is not the same with passive stretching.

Answer 12

Passive Relaxed ROM (PRROM)

Question 13

This maintains thr joint ROM same with AFROM and also reduces formation of adhesions and contractures.

Answer 13

Effects of PRROM

Question 14

This is performed by therapist to client or the client alone which lenghtens soft tissue

Answer 14

Stretching

Question 15

This are contractile tissue that has the ability to contract and relax.

Answer 15

Muscle Fibers

Question 16

This provides extensibility and are also able to elongate when stress load placed on them.

Answer 16

Elastin Fibers

Question 17

This are the gel that transports nutrients and metabolites as well as reduces friction between connective tissue fibers; it is likely that it prevents excess cross linking between the individual collagen fibers.

Answer 17

Ground Substance

Question 18

When non contractile tissue is stressed or stretched, the wavy collagen fibers straighten out; the tissue and is thought to be the slack that that is taken out of the tissue during stretch. ( If the stretch is released at this point, the collagen fibers will return to their original lenght)

Answer 18

Elastic Range of the Tissue

Question 19

When the stretched past the elastic range, the cross links and bonds between the collagen fibers breaks and there is a release of heat (called hysteresis) this is termed as? ( If the stretched is released at this point, the tissue is permanently stretched)

Answer 19

Plastic Range of the Tissue

Question 20

__________has the greatest resistance to stress with their parallel arrangement of collagen fibers; ___________, _________, and __________ have moderate resistance to stress; __________ the least resistance to stress due to its random arrangment of collagen fibers.

Answer 20

Tendon; Ligaments, Fascia, Joint capsule; Skin

Question 21

3 Categories of stretches:

Answer 21

Active Inhibition techniques, passive stretching and self stretching

Question 22

Active Inhibition technique is held up to _______ while a passive and self stretch are held up to ________.

Answer 22

10sec for AIT; 15-30sec for Passive and Self stretching

Question 23

Stretching is performed by RMT or client, and it is done in:

Answer 23

SLOW, GENTLE, & SUSTAINED MANNER

Question 24

Rapid stretching and ballistic stretching engage the stretch reflex which causing __________ of the muscle; this should be avoided.

Answer 24

Reflex Contraction

Question 25

What technique used when a client reflexively inhibits (relaxes) the muscle to be lengthened?

Answer 25

Active Inhibition Technique Stretching

Question 26

4 Types of Active Inhibition Techniques:

Answer 26

Hold-Relax, Contract-Relax, Post Isometric Relaxation, Agonist Contraction
