Question 5

Direction refers to

Answer 5

flexion, extension, sidebending and rotation

Question 6

Range

Answer 6

Measurement in degrees

Question 7

Quality

Answer 7

How did i get to the end point?

Smooth, ratcheting, restricted, resistance

Question 8

Ratcheting

Answer 8

Common in Parkinson’s patients..slow and rocky to the end point

Question 9

Restricted

Answer 9

Prevention of movement or somatic dysfunction

Question 10

End feel of ROM include (5)

Answer 10

Elastic, Abrupt, Hard, Empty and Crisp

Question 11

Elastic

Answer 11

rubber band like, springy

Question 12

Abrupt

Answer 12

At the end of anatomic barrier. Ex: Elbow extension

Question 13

Empty

Answer 13

Stops due to patient guarding. “Oh no, we can’t go further or I’ll feel pain.

Question 14

Hard

Answer 14

Look at symmetric parts and notice one side is elastic and other is like a brick. We can go past as there is more potential for ROM.

Question 15

Crisp

Answer 15

Involuntary muscle guarding like in a pinched nerve. Muscle involuntarily pulls back.

Answer 17

Maximal normal flexibility through gravity or force

Question 18

Dynamic flexibility

Answer 18

Something athletes can produce

Question 19

Stiffness

Answer 19

Reduced ROM of a joint or group of joints
