27
Q

PROM

A

movement of a segment w/in the unrestricted ROM that is produced by an external force

there is little or no voluntary muscle contraction

28
Q

PROM –> external force

A

gravity

machine

another individual

another part of a person’s own body

29
Q

are PROM and passive stretching the same thing?

A

NO

30
Q

possible equipment used w/ PROM

A

pulleys

continuous passive motion devices

towel

bands

hands

31
Q

when is PROM used

A

active movement may disrupt the healing process/unable to move body part d/t medial or surgical reasons

when the pt is physically or cognitively unable to move actively

active movement is too painful to perform

32
Q

PROM possible pts

A

comatose

paralyzed

bed rest

post operatively

33
Q

clinicians skill –> PROM

A

clinicians handling techniques can affect the pts comfort and ability to relax during treatment

proper positioning of pt and clinician allows adequate stabilization

be mindful of clinician grip and any bony prominences

34
Q

at what pace should PROM be performed

A

smooth and steady

avoiding abrupt movements or excessive speed that may cause a protective muscle contraction

35
Q

what should we monitor –> PROM

A

pts response

36
Q

motions should be performed in –> PROM

A

cardinals planes

combined motions

fxnal movement patterns

37
Q

goals of PROM (1)

A

prevention of joint contractures and soft tissue stiffness or adaptive shortening

maintenance of the normal mobile relationship b/w soft tissue layers

decrease pain

38
Q

goals of PROM (2)

A

assist circulation

maintenance of awareness of movement

assist with healing process

enhance synovial movement for cartilage nutrition and diffusion of materials int he joint

39
Q

uses of PROM during and examination

A

determine limitations in movement

joint stability

mm flexibility

soft tissue elasticity

40
Q

other uses for PROM

A

during education of an active exercise program

while preparing for passive stretching

41
Q

limitation of PROM

A

does not prevent muscle atrophy

does not increase mm strength or endurance

does not assist circulation

42
Q

what helps with circulation –> PROM

A

active/voluntary muscle contraction

43
Q

AAROM

A

mobility in which some muscle activation takes place

44
Q

when should AAROM be used

A

pt is unable (weakness or pain) or not allowed to fully activate the muscle

45
Q

when does AAROM occur

A

prior to tissue restrictions

46
Q

goals of AAROM

A

same as PROM w/ added benefits of some active muscle contraction

47
Q

specific goal of AAROM

A

increase confidence

decrease pain

kinesiophobia w/ active movements

begin strengthening/load tolerance

48
Q

benefits of active mm contraction

A

circulation

stimulus of bone activity

proprioception and kinesthesia

little impact on strength

involves active participation from pts

49
Q

little impact of strength –> benefits of AAROM

A

teaches pt how to actively fire the muscle

50
Q

what is AROM also called

A

dynamic flexibility

51
Q

how can AROM be performed

A

against gravity or in gravity min position

motions in cardinal planes

combination of movement patterns

fxnal activities

52
Q

AROM

A

mobility activities performed by active muscle contraction

53
Q

goals of AROM

A

those associated w/ PROM and AAROM

54
Q

specific goals AROM

A

greater strength gains

muscle coordination

motor skill development for fxnal activities

help prevent DVT

great pt involvement

55
Q

when should we do AROM

A

following any passive technique to reinforce proper movement patterns

56
Q

as new mobility is achieved –> AROM

A

active exercise ensures the ability to use the new range effectively and reinforce “sticking” movement

57
Q

limitations of AROM

A

only develops skill and coordination in the movement pattern used

does not provide adequate load to increase mm strength

58
Q

precautions and contraindications of ROM

A

when motion is disruptive to the healing process

when pt response or condition is life threatening

59
Q

principles and procedures of ROM

A

examine and evaluate the pts current level of fxn

determine what type of ROM activity is best at this stage in the pts rehab

how much motion can be applied considering the current condition

what patterns would be best suited for my pt

60
Q

principles and procedures (2)

A

monitor pt before, during and after ROM exam and intervention

document and communicate findings and intervention that was given

re-evaluate and modify the intervention as necessary

61
Q

pt prep

A

communicate w/ pt

free the region from restrictive clothing –> appropriately drape

position the pt comfortably while allowing for adequate alignment and stabilization

safe body mechanics

62
Q

PROM application

A

force of movement is completely external

no movement may occur from the pt or it becomes an active exercise

motion must be carried out w/in the free ROM
–> range that is available w/o forced motion or pain

63
Q

AROM application

A

demonstrate the required motion using PROM

ask pt to perform movement

be ready to help if necessary

64
Q

when to provide assistance –> AROM

A

only if necessary for smooth motion

65
Q

motion is performed –> AROM

A

within available range
