passive movements

Question 1

what is passive movement

Answer 1

movement that is generated by outside force in the midst of muscle inactivity.

Question 2

3 types of passive movements

Answer 2

1. relaxed
2. forced
3. continous

Question 3

relaxed passive movements need to be:

Answer 3

1. accurate
2. rhymical
3. smoothly
4. through the range of motion
5. direction should be equal to the active range of motion
   Free range of motion

Question 4

passive movement: Relaxation

Answer 4

selection of starting position comfortable and supportive

Question 5

Fixation

Answer 5

Proximal and Distal joint
movements must be localized

Question 6

Support

Answer 6

Full & comfortable support is given
Patient is confidences and will remain relaxed

Question 7

Traction

Answer 7

Pulling of a joint in an direction
Sustained pull on a distal bone

Question 8

Range of Motion

Answer 8

Pain Free
Avoid muscles spams

Question 9

Speed and Direction

Answer 9

slow have rhythm and repetition

Question 10

Passive movements will not

Answer 10

1.Prevent the loss of muscle tissue 2. Enlarge muscle strength and tolerance
3. Help with circulation as active exercises

Question 11

What precautions of contradictions or to the range of motion

Answer 11

Instantly of the tears fractures and surgery

If there are indications of a lot of effusion or inflammation

When the motion hinders the healing process

When bony block hinders the range of motion

There’s an acute infection within the surrounding joints or in the joint

Question 12

Physiological movement

Answer 12

Traditionally Performed by patience voluntarily muscle contraction


Question 13

How is physiological movements measured

Answer 13

Through a goniometer

Question 14

What is an example of a physiological movement

Answer 14

Flexion and abduction

Question 15

Accessory movements

Answer 15

Are you always in the normal range of motion and the surrounding tissue cannot actively become performed by the patient

Question 16

Component motion

Answer 16

Motions that accompany active motion but not under voluntary control

Question 17

Example of component motion

Answer 17

Scapula upward rotation during shoulder flexion

Question 18

Joints play

Answer 18

Movements that happened between the joint surfaces as well as the joint capsule which allows the joints to move

Question 19

Does jointly have been actively

Answer 19

Happens passively but cannot occur actively by the patient

Question 20

Example of joins play

Answer 20

Gliding
spining of joint

Question 21

Indications that passive movements need to be practised on a patient

Answer 21

Swollen tissue and where active movement is painful

Paralytic or complete bedridden patients

Muscle re-education as a first step

Question 22

Goals for passive movements

Answer 22

Maintain joint and connective tissue mobility
maintain physiological properties of the muscle minimise the formation of contractions

Increase synovial movement and diffuse materials in the joints

Range of motion and prevent formation of adhesions 

Question 23

Patience response

Answer 23

May cause soreness

perform joint mobilisation on alternate days to allow soreness to decrease and allow healing if the tissue to occur

Patient should perform range of motion techniques 

Pain is always the guide.

Question 24

Benefits of passive movements

Answer 24

Maintains range of motion
increase circulation
increase flexibility and decrease stiffness
decrease and inhibits pain
assist with the healing process after

Question 25

The application of passive range of motion

Answer 25

External movement so it can be provided by physical therapist or a medical assisted device
no active resistance or assistant is given to the muscle
