ROM Lab Flashcards
Shoulder ADduction
- crossing your arm over your chest to the opposite side, think of the classic outer shoulder stretch we do after a workout
- 130-140°
External shoulder rotation
- have the upper arms out straight elbows at 90°, like when the cops say “put your hands up!” and this is the likely pose everyone takes like “I’m unarmed!”
- 90°
Elbow Pronation
- Elbow when your palms face down
* 90°
Hip flexion (knee flexed)
- Laying on back. Lift up leg and flex knee at 90°
* 120-135°
Wrist flexion
- when you bend the wrist downwards with knuckles visible on the outside (think of when the queen of england gives her hand out to be kissed, shes flexing her status)
- 80-90°
What is Elastic barrier?
the range between the physiologic and
anatomic barrier of motion in which passive stretching occurs before tissue disruption; aka, the area that “warms up” with stretching
Plane and axis of sidebending/ lateral flexion/ abduction/adduction
- Frontal/ Coronal Plane
* Sagittal axis (anterior/ posterior) (think of a rod sticking in through your stomach and out the back)
Lumbar spine extension
- extend your back as far back as you can go while keeping your legs and knees straight and steady
- 20-45°
Wrist Ulnar/ADduction deviation
- Its when you bend the the ulnar side of the wrist. When done with palms facing up you are bringing the fingers towards the midline of your torso (think ADDduction you add the body)
- 30-40°
Wrist Radial/ABduction deviation
- When you bend the radial side of the wrist. When done with palms facing up you are bringing the fingers away from the midline of your torso
- 20-30°
Plane and axis of rotation
- Transverse/horizontal (R/L)
- vertical (superior/inferior) axis (think of a rod just going through you from the top of your head out the bottom of your feet like a human skewer)
Knee Flexion
- Flexing is bending of the knee
* 145-150°
Hip ADduction
- Laying on stomach. Take leg and pull it towards the inside
- 20-30°
Wrist extension
- When you bend the wrist upward (stop! hammer time…yeah thats what the hand looks)
- 70°
Elbow Extension
- Straightening the elbow
* 0 to -5° (usually negative in females)
Hip flexion (knee extended)
- Person must lay on their back. Make sure to block the opposite hip and pelvis from shifting up as you lift their leg up
- 90°
What is a anatomical barrier?
Limit of motion imposed by anatomic structure. Limit of passive motion, like when the physician moves the limb for the patient
Hip external rotation
- Laying on back. Take the foot and stabilize the knee and twist leg inwards
- 40-60°
Lumbar spine flexion
•bending down and touch your toes and don’t bend your knees! (or if you’re my OS partner who can literally palm the floor)
*40-90°
Internal shoulder rotation
- basically the opposite direction of external so now you have upper arms out straight but forearms going down and as far back as it that shoulder can handle
- 90°
