MIDTERM - kahoot Flashcards
definition of functional excursion
the distance a muscle can shorten after it has been maximally elongated
active insufficiency
decreased tension of a multiarticular mm when it is shortened across one / more of its joints – implies that mm shortening leads to low tension
passive insufficiency
occurs when multi-joint mm is lengthened to its fullest extent at both joints, but also prevents full ROM of each joint it crosses
functional excursion of a muscle can be affected by…
the joints the muscle crosses
AROM is produced by…
active contraction of the muscle crossing a joint
PROM is produced by…
external force, manual or mechanical – NOT synonymous with passive stretching
A-AROM is produced by…
combination of external force and active muscle contraction (type of AROM)
what is correct for application of AROM
-the motion is perfomed within the available ROM
-first, demonstrate the motion desired using PROM
-provide assistance only as needed
*NOT “first, provide assistance as needed for smooth motion”
what is correct with regard to AROM
-goal: provides sensory feedback from contracting muscles
-goal: provides a stimulus for bone & joint tissue integrity
-limitation: does not maintain or increase strength in strong muscles
*NOT “limitation: develops skill and coordination in movement patterns used”
an indication for ROM is…
when a patient has weak musculature & is unable to move a joint (A-AROM)
application for PROM
-force for movement is external
-motion is carried out within the free ROM
-ROM should be pain free
*NOT “active resistance or assistance is given by the patient’s muscles”
goals for PROM
-decrease complications that occur with immobilization
-help maintain patient’s awareness of movement
-maintain joint & CT mobility
*NOT “improve strength in weakened muscles”
when or where is PROM indicated?
-in region with acute, inflamed tissue
-when patient is not able/ supposed to actively move an area
-after surgical repair of contractile tissue
NOT: “when a patient is able to contract the muscles actively”
T/F - the agonist refers to the mm opposite the range-limiting mm in an agonist contraction stretch
TRUE
agonist stretch = dynamic ROM (DROM) or active stretching
T/F - the antagonist refers to the range-limiting mm in an agonist contraction stretch
TRUE
dynamic & passive are 2 types of…
flexibility
flexibility
ability to rotate single joint or series of joints smoothly & easily through an unrestricted, pain-free ROM
dynamic flexibility
AKA active mobility or active ROM → the extent to which an active mm contraction can rotate a joint through its available ROM
