Q

Why is it important to seek feedback from your client when monitoring and adjusting patient progression?

A

You need to regularly communicate with your client in order to understand their perceived difficulty and adjust accordingly.
You should NEVER guess how a client is feeling.

27
Q

What is ROM?

A

the amount of angular motion between 2 boney levers at a joint

28
Q

What are the 4 types of ROM?

A

RROM
PROM
AROM
AAROM

29
Q

Why is ROM important?

A

ROM is the key that unlocks functional independence.
Improves joint health and stability
Injury prevention

30
Q

What is PROM? What are the uses of it?

A

motion produced by an external force (manual/mechanical)
(not synonymous with passive stretching)
- decreases cartilage degeneration & adhesion
- prevents or minimizes joint contractures
- enhance synovial movement to provide cartilage nutrition
- maintain muscle elasticity
- assists healing after joint injury or surgery

31
Q

What can PROM NOT do? (3)

A
  1. Does not prevent muscle atrophy
  2. Does not increase muscle strength or endurance
  3. Has only minimal impact on circulation
32
Q

What is continuous passive motion (CPM)?

A

Passive motion that is performed by a mechanical device that moves a joint slowly and continuously through a preset, controlled ROM.

33
Q

What are the advantages of CPM?

A
  • Muscle memory (it goes only to the set degree)
  • Allows the therapist to better watch the patient
34
Q

When should you use PROM?

A
  • When a joint has acutely inflamed tissue
  • When a patient is not able to or not supposed to actively move the joint
  • Following surgical repair of contractile tissue when AROM would compromise the repaired muscle
35
Q

What is AROM?

A

a ROM produced entirely by a muscle action (grade 3 MMT)

36
Q

What are the benefits of AROM?

A
  • can build muscular endurance
  • can help prevent muscle atrophy
  • activates sensory receptors within the muscles and joints
  • help prevent stiffness and pain from returning
37
Q

When should you use AROM?

A
  • When a patient can contract the muscle actively and move a segment though a ROM
  • When resistance is not indicated
  • During immobilization, AROM is used above and below the joint
  • Can be used for aerobic conditioning
38
Q

True or False:
By using AROM, it can help maintain or increase strength.

A

False, for strong muscles AROM won’t maintain or increase strength

39
Q

What is AAROM?

A

a combination of both AROM and PROM, patient moves through as much AROM as possible then the rest is achieved via PROM

40
Q

What are the benefits of AAROM?

A

combines those of PROM and AROM

41
Q

What is RROM?

A

Resistance Range of Motion, also known as Manual Muscle Testing during the examination process.

42
Q

When should you use PROM before AROM?

A

when there is suspect muscular weakness or tissue lesion.

43
Q

What are the ways to assess (measure) AROM and PROM?

A

Visual and goniometry

44
Q

In assessing PROM, what are the 3 normal end feels?

A
  1. Soft: muscle to muscle, fat
  2. Firm: capsular, tendon, or ligamentous stretch
  3. Hard: bone to bone
45
Q

In assessing PROM, what are the 5 abnormal end feels?

A
  1. Soft: spongy = inflammation
  2. Firm: adhesion may be limiting motion
  3. Hard
  4. Empty: feels like it will keep going
  5. Spasm
