Range of Motion Flashcards
is a basic technique done to preserve or
maintain flexibility and mobility of the joints . It is done to
reduce rigidity of muscles in a bedridden patients.
ROM-
is the term that is used to describe the
amount of movement you have at each joint. Every joint in
the body has a “normal” range of motion.
Range of Motion
refers to activity
aimed to improve movement of a specific joint.
Range of Motion Exercise
To improve physical well-being and avoid injury by
keeping the muscles and joints strong and flexible.
To improve movement of a specific joint.
To prevent atrophy of muscles.
Range of Motion (ROM) exercises are given to
reduce the atrophy of the musculature. With
progression, resistance.
Purposes of Range of Motion
Exercises
Improves blood Circulation
Improves Muscle Strength
Maintains Flexibility
Reduces Pain
Enhances Physical Performance
Reduces Stiffness
Decrease Potential Injury
Benefits of
ROM Exercises:
is movement applied to a joint solely by
another person or persons or a passive motion machine. When passive
range of motion is applied, the joint of an individual receiving exercise is
completely relaxed while the outside force moves the body part, such as
a leg or arm, throughout the available range. Injury, surgery, or
immobilization of a joint may affect the normal joint range of motion.
Passive Range of Motion
- to keep the muscles and joints
strong and flexible.
Range of motion exercises
exercises are done alone.
Active range of motion (AROM)
require
assistance
Active-assisted range of motion (AAROM) exercises-
is movement of a joint
provided entirely by the individual performing the
exercise. (PATIENT)
Active Range of Motion (AROM)
-a joint
receiving partial assistance from an outside force.
Active Assist Range of Motion – (AAROM)
This range of motion may result from the majority of
motion applied by an exerciser or by the person or persons
assisting the individual. It also may be ___ ____ ____on the joint from each source.
half-and-half
effort
-are especially beneficial when a situation
such as a stroke or an accident has left a patient bedridden
or wheelchair-bound.
PROM Exercises
Passive range of motion exercises is helping patient to
.
improve joint flexibility
If they are unable to move, medical professionals will move
their muscles and bend their joints on a daily basis, working
toward
potential recovery
