Progressions in Mobility Flashcards
Define Mobility?
The ease with which an articulation or series of articulation is able to move before being restricted by the surrounding structures.
Define Range of Movement?
The amount of mobility of a joint that is determined by the soft tissues and bony structures in the area.
What are the Intrinsic Influences that Effect Mobility?
Pain.
Injury.
Type of Joint.
Bony Integrity.
What are the Extrinsic Influences that Effect Mobility?
Gender. Temperature of training environment. Stage of recovery process of a joint. Age. Restrictions of any clothing or equipment.
Define Mobilisation?
The return of a limb to full mobility by applied pressure to a joint or muscle so that it will move through its normal ROM.
What are the 2 Types of Ranges of Movement?
Normal ROM - Free and painless movement.
Restricted ROM - Painful and stiffness.
What does PROM stand for?
Passive Range of Motion.
What does AAROM stand for?
Active Assisted Range of Motion.
What does AROM stand for?
Active Range of Motion.
What is meant by Active Mobility?
The joint ROM is increased by active movement through the patients own physical effort.
What is meant by Passive Mobility?
The joint ROM is increased by the application of an external force.
What are the 3 progressions in mobility restricted due to pain and stiffness?
Rhythmical Swing.
Stretch into Resistance.
Oscillations.
What is meant by Hypermobility?
Joints are more flexible and can extend further causing excessively large ROM.
What method do we use when assessing Hypermobility?
Beighton Score.
