PT S 1 Flashcards
ROM vs Stretching (PRE)
ROM is the specific joint or limb movement to decrease pain, prevent contracture, promote circulation.
Stretching includes applying force over time in the end range of the tissue to create lasting changes in the tissue, which helps increase ROM, reduce posture impairment, etc.
2 signs of too much or the wrong motion?
increased pain and increased inflammation
What is CPM and its benefits
Continous passive motion performed by a mechanical device that moves joint slowly during ROM.
BENEFITS: preventing development of contractures and joint stiffness, healing of tendons and ligaments, healing, increasing synovial fluid lubrication, etc.
What joint motion are achieved during sit to stand
ankle dorsiflexion causes knee flexion
ankle plantar flexion causes knee extension
hip extensors causes knee extension
3 dimensions/ domains of wellness/ health
social, occupational, spiritual, physical and intellectual.
Health people 2030
Its a prevention agenda with goals of eliminate health disparities, achieve health equality, etc
activities such as health promotion and exercise designed to PREVENT a disease
Primary prevention
early diagnosis and reduction of the severity or duration of existing disease and sequalae
secondary prevention
use of rehabilitant to reduce the degree or limit the existing disability, chronic irreversible conditions
tertiary prevention
why is important to know the risk factor for disabilities for osteoporosis or coronary artery disease
because osteoporosis causes bones to become weak which can lead to fractures and cardiovascular factors can also be dangerous if you dont have control over them.
evidence- based practice steps
- identify if patients problem and question it
-search clinically relevant information - critically analize the info and make judgment about quality of info
-integrate and incorporate finding and decision into pt management
contract relax (CR)
used to improve PROM while contracting.
hard end feel
bone contracting
firm end feel
muscular or ligament stretch
soft end feel
soft tissue approximation
Acute stage: inflammation- phase l maximum protection
control inflammation (ice), PROM, joint mobilization, protection and AD as indicated.
edema, pain, muscle spasm
Subacute stage: proliferation, repair, healing - phase ll moderate protection
mobile scar: selective stretching. Resistive stabilization open closed chain, endurance, balance exercises, progression intensity and range.
joint effusion, muscle weakness
Chronic stage: maturation and remodeling- phase lll min to no protection
functional independence, strengthening and endurance exercises. drills.
decreased performance
Phase lV: progress to sports and specific training
signs of excessive stress with exercise or activities
soreness doesnt decreased without 4 hrs to 24 hrs, increased feeling and stiffness, decreased ROM, signs of inflammation
neurological injury, immobilization, muscle imbalance are examples of?
causes of impaired or decreased ROM
