movement

Question 1

active movement

Answer 1

movement of a joint or body segment produced by active, voluntary muscle contraction by the individual.

Question 2

active-assisted movement

Answer 2

movement of a joint or body segment whereby an external force is used to assist the active, voluntary muscle contraction of the individual.

Question 3

passive movement

Answer 3

movement of a joint or body segment by a force external to the body, without active, voluntary muscle contraction by the individual.

Question 4

physiological joint movement

Answer 4

normal, natural range of movement (ROM) of a joint within its anatomical and biomechanical limits. It is the movement that the joint is designed to perform and is necessary for normal function and overall well-being.

Question 5

passive physiological joint movement

Answer 5

when the movement is performed through the normal physiological range of movement present in the joint.

Question 6

accesory movement

Answer 6

movement that a person cannot perform independently but is necessary for normal joint movement.

Question 7

why use passive accessory movement

Answer 7

improve joint mobility
improve joint by reducing pain and stiffness

Question 8

manipulation

Answer 8

specialised technique performed through a few degrees of motion at the end of joint range.

It is a forceful high velocity thrust in localised area – most commonly the spine.

Question 9

joint movement in frontal plane

Answer 9

abduction// adduction

Question 10

joint movement in sagital plane

Answer 10

flexion and extension

Question 11

joint movement in transverse plane

Answer 11

external and internal rotation

Question 12

indication for passive movement

Answer 12

• familiar with joint movement
  -understand rom of this joint if unable
  -gain info abt joint intensity, tone of muscle, reflex

passive movement can’t reduce atrophy increase muscle strength

Question 13

abnormal movements in passive movements

Answer 13

jerky
restricted
catchy
spasm

Question 14

end feel

Answer 14

soft- tissue compressed
hard- joint capsule/ ligaments stretched
firm- bony blocks

Question 15

abnormal end feels

Answer 15

soft- boggy sensation- odema
firm- some give- soft tissue shorten
hard-hard abrupt stop or gatting feel- disslocation fracture
spasm- hard abrupt stop with pain -arthritis / legion
springy- rebound is felt/ seen- torn cartldge
empty- considerable pain no movement- bursitis
