Practical Procedure

Question 1

What are the 7 steps

Answer 1

Observation
Quick touch
AROM
PROM
RROM
Resisted full range
Palpation

Question 2

What is the purpose of Quick Touch and how is it performed?

Answer 2

To assess physical signs without causing pain or discomfort

Use back of hand, uninjured then injured, look for temperatures, texture

Question 3

What do you do for “Observation” and what are you looking for?

Answer 3

Look from all sides moving around athlete

Look for posture, symmetry, muscle tone

Question 4

What is AROM

Answer 4

Where the athlete performs the movement themselves

The athlete moves the joints together so you can compare

Question 5

What is PROM

Answer 5

where the athlete lets you move the joint through full ROM

An over pressure should be performed at end range

Question 6

What is RROM

Answer 6

Place joint at midrange
Apply a gentle over pressure and get the athlete to match your resistance
Intrinsic
Then assess RROM at beginning and end of range

Question 7

What is resisted full range?

Answer 7

Assessed the muscles ability to contract with movement through its full range
Check uninjured then injured

Question 8

What is the oxford scale and what’re the differences between contractions 0-5

Answer 8

0/5 is no contraction
1/5 is visible muscle contraction but no movement
2/5 is movement with gravity eliminated
3/5 is movement with gravity only
4/5 is movement with gravity and some resistance
5/5 is movement against gravity with full resistance
