Kinesiology Week 2 (complete)

Question 1

What is range of motion (ROM)?

Answer 1

the amount of movement that occurs at a joint, the measurement of motion available

Question 2

Is range of motion the arc of motion or the measurement of the final angle?

Answer 2

the arc of motion

Question 3

What are some client factors that effect joint motion?

Answer 3

1. genetics
2. activities (waitresses may have more wrist dorsiflexion due to carrying trays)
3. health status
4. inactivity of the muscles
5. injury can result in edema, pain etc
6. age (bones weaken, tendons weaken)
7. gender (woman have more flexible joints than men

Question 4

What do you want to assess specifically when assessing pain?

Answer 4

1. intensity
2. duration

Question 5

Why assess ROM?

Answer 5

to identify strengths and limitations that will impact occupation
how is the patient moving the joint? are they protecting anything? is their edema?

Question 6

What is Passive Range of Motion (PROM)

Answer 6

arc of motion through which a joint passes when moved by an outside force

Question 7

What is Active Assistive Range of Motion (AAROM)

Answer 7

arc of motion through which a joint passes when moved initially by muscles then completed by an outside force

Question 8

What is Active Range of Motion (AROM)

Answer 8

arc of motion through which a joint passes when moved by muscles acting on a joint

Question 9

What is functional ROM?

Answer 9

amount of motion necessary to complete essential ADL tasks

Question 10

What is total AROM?

Answer 10

The sum of the extension at the metacarpophalangeal (MCP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP), and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints is subtracted from the total achievable flexion of the same joints

Question 11

What is the term for when bones weaken due to age?

Answer 11

osteoporosis

Question 12

What is edema?

Answer 12

swelling, can affect ROM

Question 13

What is a clinical screen?

Answer 13

Where you have the patient mimic the therapists motions

Question 14

Are functional motion tests
a. done through standardized testing
b. done through non standardized testing
c. both

Answer 14

C. both

Question 15

What is an example of a non-standardized assessment?

Answer 15

Asking the patient to reach overhead for items to test ROM

Question 16

What is the instrument used to test ROM?

Answer 16

goniometer

Question 17

What type of measurement is done first?
a. AROM
b. PROM
c. AAROM

Answer 17

a. AROM

Question 18

When measuring ROM, where do you place the goniometer?

Answer 18

Over the axis of motion

Question 19

Does end feel occur in passive or active ROM?

Answer 19

passive

Question 20

What is end feel to ROM?

Answer 20

resistance to further motion

Question 21

What is soft end feel?

Answer 21

due to soft tissue, tension of muscle tissue

Question 22

What is firm end feel?

Answer 22

firmer but can feel a stretch
muscular, capsular or ligamentous stretch

Question 23

What is hard end feel?

Answer 23

bone against bone

Question 24

What is empty end feel?

Answer 24

no “feel”, movement stops due to pain

Question 25

When assessing ROM, the ___ is the plane in which the motion is to occur with the ____ of the ____ acting as the arc of motion

Answer 25

body, axis, joint

Question 26

Results stating “elbow flexion 20 degrees to 150 degrees” indicates what?

Answer 26

a limitation in full elbow extension

Question 27

When assessing ROM, not only do you want to observe quality of motion but also…
a. speed
b. stiffness
c. joint swelling
d. coordination
e. A and B
f. all of the above

Answer 27

F. all of the above

Question 28

You should assess ROM…
a. proximal to distal
b. distal to proximal

Answer 28

A. proximal to distal

Question 29

What is an example of bony end feel?

Answer 29

elbow joint

Question 30

What is an example of soft end feel?

Answer 30

abduction of the hip joint

Question 31

What is hypermobility?

Answer 31

there is an excess of joint motion (ballet)

Question 32

What is hypomobility?

Answer 32

constraints to joint mobility
