Question 1

ROM activities

Answer 1

stay within the limits of tissue extensibility to maintain the available length of tissues.
used as testing or assessment

Question 2

Stretching

Answer 2

takes soft tissue structures beyond their available length to increase ROM

Question 3

Answer 3

AROM is not ok
beginning of treatment.
AROM would disrupt healing
need to return ROM
preventing negative effects of immobilizing

has improved PROM, starting to move but don’t want full AROM

Question 5

Answer 6

integrate active muscle contractions with static stretching
purpose: muscle relaxation to enhance tissue elongation
requires normal innervation & voluntary muscle control

Question 7

Consensus on PNF
