quiz #1

Question 1

goals of AROM

Answer 1

-increase ROM
-maintain contractility through available ROM
-help stimulate bone & tissue integrity

Question 2

functional excursion

Answer 2

distance a muscle is capable of shortening after it has been maximally elongated
-active & passive insufficiency

Question 3

active insufficiency

Answer 3

decreased tension of multiarticular muscle when it is shortened across one or more of its joints
-implies that muscle shortening leads to low tension

Question 4

passive insufficiency

Answer 4

when multi-joint muscle is lengthened to its fullest extent at both joints, but also preventing full ROM of each joint it crosses

Question 5

why would you want to take a person through PROM

Answer 5

-in region where there is acute, inflamed tissue
-when patient is not able to / not supposed to actively move
-after surgical repair

Question 6

neuromuscular control

Answer 6

interaction of sensory & motor systems that enables synergists, agonists, & antagonists, as well as stabilizers and neutralizers, to anticipate / respond to proprioceptive & kinesthetic information
-work in correct sequence & magnitude to create coordinated movement

Question 7

prescreening question that should be addressed before participation EXCEPT

Answer 7

“what are your BP & heart rate normally ??”

Question 8

hypomobility definition

Answer 8

(reduced functional motion): often caused by adaptive shortening or decreased extensibility in soft tissues

Question 9

flexion contracture

Answer 9

-bent (flexed) joint that cannot be straightened actively or passively
-chronic loss of joint motion due to structural changes in muscle, tendons, ligaments, or skin that prevents normal movement of joints

Question 10

application of stretching - “which of following description represents safest & most comfortable process to achieve tissue lengthening?”

Answer 10

= slowly apply low load force …. = A

Question 11

homecare

Answer 11

frequency, intensity, duration

Question 12

what you need to do to maintain gains in homecare (FID)

Answer 12

-apply cold
-active ROM exercise
-strengthen antagonist

Question 13

impaired extensibility of mm tendon unit as result of spasticity or rigidity from legion of central nervous system

Answer 13

pseudomyostatic

Question 14

CI’s for stretching

Answer 14

Joint Limitations
Fractures
Inflammation/Infection
Healing Disruption
Acute Pain
Tissue Trauma
Joint Hypermobility
Necessary Stability
Functional Skills in Paralysis

Question 15

ballistic stretching definition

Answer 15

-Rapid, forceful intermittent stretching.
-Increases flexibility but can cause tissue trauma and soreness.
-Avoid ballistic stretching in the elderly, sedentary people, or those with musculoskeletal issues.

Question 16

when patient involved in stretching program, it is recommended that you…

Answer 16

• avoid strengthening mm that has been stretched
• warm up tissue to be stretched using heat
• avoid active exercise before stretching
• strengthen mm to be stretched in order to convert tissue to easily distensible

Question 17

flexibility

Answer 17

ability to move freely, without restriction; used interchangeably with mobility

Question 18

mobility

Answer 18

ability of structures / segments of body to move or be moved in order to achieve ROM needed for functional activities (functional ROM)
-passive mobility: dependent on soft tissue (contractile & noncontractile) extensibility
-active mobility requires neuromuscular activation

Question 19

ROM definition

Answer 19

basic technique used for examination of movement and for initiating movement into a purposeful therapeutic intervention
-range of motion (ROM) is the full motion possible

Question 20

stability

Answer 20

ability of neuromuscular system through synergistic muscle actions to hold proximal or distal body segment in stationary position or to control stable base during superimposed movement
-joint stability is maintenance of proper alignment of bony partners of a joint by means of passive & dynamic components

Question 21

balance

Answer 21

ability to align body segments against gravity to maintain or move body within available base of support without falling; ability to move body in equilibrium with gravity via interaction of sensory & motor systems
