Lecture Exam 1 Flashcards
a basic technique used to examine movement or for initiating movement into a program of therapeutic intervention
Range of Motion (ROM)
what do these factors influence?
surgical or traumatic insults
inactivity or immobilization
systemic joint/neurological/muscular diseases
ROM
what are ROM techniques used for?
maintaining joint & soft tissue mobility
minimizing loss of flexibility
preventing contracture formation
what are the 3 types of ROM?
PROM
AROM
AAROM
which type of ROM is produced by active contraction of a mm crossing a jt?
AROM
which type of ROM is produced by an external source?
PROM
which type of ROM is provided with assistance from a mechanical or manual outside force?
AAROM
which type of ROM would you use for an area with acute inflammation?
PROM
which type of ROM has the following goals?
- maintain physiological elasticity & contractibility of participating muscles
- provide sensory feedback
- provide stimulus for bones & joint tissue integrity
- increase circulation & prevent thrombus formations
- develop coordination & motor skills for functional activities
AROM
which type of ROM has the following goals?
- decrease complications that would occur with mobilization
- minimize effects of contracture formations
- maintain chemical elasticity of mm
- assist circulation & enhance cartilage nutrition
- decrease/inhibit pain
- assist in healing after injury or surgery
- help maintain pt awareness of movement
PROM
(PROM/AROM/AAROM) does NOT
prevent mm atrophy
increase strength or endurance
improve circulation the same as active mm contractions will
PROM
(PROM/AROM/AAROM) does NOT
maintain or increase strength for mm that are strong
develop skill or coordination (except in movement patterns that are used)
AROM
to improve performance of functional tasks by increasing strength, flexibility, & ROM is the philosophy of?
PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation)
PNF’s goal is to promote achievement of progressively higher levels of functional dependence in…?
bed mobility
transitional movements
sitting
standing
walking
name the 10 essential components of PNF
- manual contacts
- body position & body mechanics
- stretch
- manual resistance
- irradiation
- joint facilitation
- timing of movement
- patterns of movement
- visual cues
- verbal input
which essential component of PNF is this?
- stimulates pressure receptors
- provides info to pt about desired direction of movement
- placed on skin overlying target mm groups in the direction of desired movement
- lumbrical grip is used
manual contacts
which essential component of PNF is this?
- clinicians should be in line with movement
- resistance is created through the use of the clinician’s body weight
body position & body mechanics
which essential component of PNF is this?
- utilized to facilitate mm activity
- facilitates the mm that is elongated, synergistic mm at the same joint, & other associated mm
contraindications: joint hypermobility, fracture, pain
precaution: spasticity
stretch
which essential component of PNF is this?
- internal or external force that alters difficulty of moving
(internal) stiff, length, neurologic influences
(external) gravity, weight, manual forces - use of manual force will depend on whether the goal is mobility or stability
manual resistance
which essential component of PNF is this?
- neurophysiological
- spread of mm activity due to resistance
- overflow & reinforcement
irradiation
which essential component of PNF is this?
- stimulates joint receptors
- traction: elongation of body segment; used to facilitate motion & decrease pain
- approximation: promotes stability & WB
- these forces may be applied during performance of extremity patterns or superimposed on body positions
joint facilitation
